Mr. Speaker, according to data released by Statistics Canada this morning, there was job growth in October. The unemployment rate is now at 7.9%.
Nearly 50,000 full-time jobs were created last month, which again shows that Canada's economic action plan is keeping us on course.
Nonetheless, global economic recovery remains fragile. That is why groups like the Canadian Chamber of Commerce are cautioning that the Liberals' plan to increase taxes is a disastrous idea that would stifle job creation and would not be the right way to create jobs and stimulate the economy.
Quebeckers and Canadians can count on our government to continue implementing our economic action plan.
