Mr. Speaker, our government has a proven track record of creating jobs and economic growth across the country.
Since July 2009, Canada's economy has created over 750,000 net new jobs, 90% of those being full-time. Our government's economic policies have made Canada an island of stability in a troubled global economy. As the global economy remains fragile, especially in Europe, Canadians want their government to focus on what matters. That is exactly what we would do in implementing economic action plan 2012.
Unfortunately, the NDP members continue to play partisan procedural games to obstruct our job-creating budget bill. The NDP members are proposing dangerous economic experiments, job-killing taxes and reckless spending we simply cannot afford. They continue to put narrow special interests and activists ahead of ordinary Canadians.
When will the NDP members stop the political games and support our plan to create jobs, growth and long-term prosperity?
