Mr. Speaker, on Friday Canadians learned that economic growth in our country has slowed to a rate of six-tenths of 1%. That is well below the projections made by the Minister of Finance just a couple of weeks ago in his economic update.
The Prime Minister knows all too well that the Canadian economy would have to grow at a rate of over 4% in the next quarter to meet his minister's most recent projection. We all know that will not happen.
Will the Prime Minister be straight with Canadians and provide a plausible forecast to replace the numbers put forward by his Minister of Finance just three weeks ago?
