Mr. Speaker, today's economic report, in spite of all the blustering across the way, is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
In June the Conservatives could not justify their phoney claim that 80% of stimulus projects were under way. Now their 90% claim is 10% more ridiculous.
Despite ballooning spending out of control, the Conservatives have failed to deliver on 88% of their infrastructure commitments and are presiding over the biggest job losses in history. That is nothing to be proud of because 486,000 full-time jobs are gone.
Why did the Conservatives not get the job done? Why do they not just step back and let us do the job?
