Mr. Speaker, Canada's economic action plan has overseen more than 560,000 net new jobs created since July 2009.
We are on the right track with our recovery, but there is still work to be done to ensure that growth continues. We need to move to the next phase of Canada's economic action plan by ensuring quick passage of the budget before Parliament rises next week. The quick passage of our budget legislation will ensure that job creation continues.
This is a budget that contains numerous initiatives in support of Canada's forestry, mining, manufacturing, agriculture and aerospace sectors. This is a budget that the Canadian Chamber of Commerce said “—will continue to support the economic recovery and help Canadian businesses prosper and compete”.
This is a budget that opposition members should get behind. We urge all opposition members to fully support budget 2011 and Canada's economic recovery.
