Mr. Speaker, what I will do is quote from a prominent economist in Canada, Patricia Croft, who says:
(Budget 2012's) initiatives in the job front and addressing the demographic challenge…in both regards I’d have to give the budget probably an 'A'…in a global context, I think Canada is in a fabulous position.
That stands in contrast to the hon. member's remarks. The hon. member suggests that we should going down a road and follow the same path some European countries are following, paths that have led some of those countries dealing with absolutely disastrous circumstances economically, circumstances that will take decades and decades to recover from.
Thankfully we live in Canada which leads the way economically and has a very bright future because of the measures the government has taken.
