Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada announced today that the Canadian economy grew by 6.1% in the first quarter of 2010. This is the strongest quarterly rate in a decade.
Today's report shows that Canada's economic action plan is making our economy stronger and stronger.
With the tax relief granted by our government to help Canadian families, consumer spending has risen. Business investment has also increased thanks to our government's strong support for job creation.
The OECD and the International Monetary Fund are predicting that our economic growth will be the strongest of all the G7 countries this year and next.
Canada's economy is on the right track, but the global recovery remains fragile. We must complete Canada's economic action plan, which has the support of the Conservative members from Quebec.
While the Liberals have plans to raise taxes, our government is working hard to save jobs and maintain our economic growth.
