Mr. Speaker, let us look at the fundamentals of the Canadian economy.
As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, the fact is that Canada has had the strongest job growth of any G-7 country over the last four years.
The fact is that Canada is expected to have the highest growth of any G-7 country this year.
The fact is that over the course of the last decade we have become one of the major high tech economies in the world.
The fact is that because of the changes brought in by this government, we will ride through the U.S. downturn better than any other G-7 country.
