Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are breaking all kinds of records for economic mediocrity: we have seen the worst drop in GDP in 18 years, the first trade deficit in 33 years, the largest deficit in the history of Canada, and now, the worst unemployment rate in over 10 years. Some 400,000 full-time jobs have been lost.
Mayors are telling us that they have not received any of the money to stimulate the economy.
Does the government realize that the municipalities are going to miss the summer construction season, which would create the jobs people need right now?
