Mr. Speaker, the Canadian economy is on the right track.
Just yesterday, Standard and Poor's stated that Canadian authorities have a strong track record in managing economic and financial crises and delivering economic growth. Standard & Poor's also stated that Canadian governments have demonstrated an ability and willingness to implement reforms to ensure sustainable public finances over the long term.
Our Conservative government remains squarely focused on what matters to Canadians: jobs, economic growth and our long-term prosperity. On the other hand, the NDP is working to impose a job-killing carbon tax on Canadians that would raise the price of gas, food, electricity and everything else. Such a tax would be devastating for our economy and for Canadian families.
Canadians made the right choice by electing our strong Conservative government.
