Mr. Speaker, it is regrettable to see a new member of Parliament so pessimistic about our country.
We have 120,000 new jobs, more than 19,000 new jobs in the month of April alone. The labour picture in Canada is strong. It is strong all across Canada. When I met with the finance ministers on Thursday and Friday, I heard about labour shortages from coast to coast in Canada.
The economy is strong. It will get stronger as we go forward. The economic fundamentals are strong in Canada.
