Mr. Speaker, in the first half of this year the Canadian economy screeched to a halt. In the second half of this year the economy shrank.
Every economist in the country is convinced that in the third and fourth quarters of this year we are seeing a decline in the Canadian economy. Unemployment is going up and today the dollar is yet again trading at an all time low.
Everybody understands we are in a recession except for the Minister of Finance. When will he stand up and admit that he has led Canada into a recession?
