Mr. Speaker, we have heard from the other side today that the government is focused on growth and that on every measure it is outperforming other countries.
However, I would like the Conservatives to reconsider their statements. This week's issue of The Economist shows that Canada's economy is predicted to grow by just 2.3% in 2014. This is well behind the U.S., which is slated to grow at 2.8%, and Britain, at 2.9%, and Australia, at 2.6%.
I wonder if the member will revise these statements and admit that Canada's growth is beginning to lag behind our partners.
