Mr. Speaker, last week the United States announced the loss of some 400,000 jobs. Over the last three months Canada has created 67,000 new jobs. The fact is our economic growth is superior to the vast number of other countries in the G-7.
There is no doubt that we are an open and transparent economy and are obviously being affected by the global slow down. However the fact is that the massive amount of stimulus, as a result of our tax cuts and our investments, is flowing through the economy. That is what is sustaining us.
