Mr. Speaker, the figure is very clear. The figure is 600,000 net new jobs. Those are the jobs that have been created in the Canadian economy since the end of the recession in July 2009.
It is also clear, if the member opposite wants to look at the figures in the G7, that is the best job creation rate in the G7 since the end of the recession.
Can we do more? Yes. Are we doing more? Yes.
There is a hiring credit for small business. It will be in the budget bill next week. I hope the member opposite votes for it.
