Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has signalled many times that he believes a low dollar is good for the country, but the esteemed economist, Dr. Sherry Cooper, has said that the inexorable decline in the Canadian dollar is both a reflection of our relative decline in economic prosperity and productivity, as well as the cause of it.
My question is for the finance minister. Does he support the Prime Minister's position of the low dollar or good common economic sense?
