Mr. Speaker, the member is simply wrong and the louder he speaks, the less worthy he is of an answer.
Canada's economic fundamentals lead most of the developed world. In fact, we lead the G7 in terms of job creation, 820,000 new jobs, but the economic recovery is fragile. That is exactly why we need trade and investment to drive economic growth and job creation here at home.
What we do not need during these fragile times is an NDP $21 billion carbon tax that will increase the cost of groceries and gasoline.
