Mr. Speaker, I know that the Leader of the Opposition is always on the lookout for bad news.

But I must say that the last quarter was the 22nd consecutive one of growth. This has not been seen since the 1960s.

While I am at it, I also want to tell him that our rate of growth in the previous quarter was twice that of the United States.
