Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague. I take pride in her comments about the improvement in my French. That is important to me.
As I mentioned, Canada's economic growth has been tremendous.
We truly are the envy of the world.
We have been recognized by the International Monetary Fund, and publications such as Forbes magazine, Fortune magazine and The Wall Street Journal have published articles on our economy.
I will learn how to say this en français very soon, but we are the envy of the world.
We have created more than 700,000 jobs since 2009, which is incredible in this fragile global economy. Some of our counterparts in Europe are grappling with economies that are still too fragile. I am pleased with our approach to job creation and economic growth, but most of all, I am pleased with our current prosperity and the outlook for generations to come.
