Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' deplorable management is hurting the Canadian economy.
Thousands of jobs have been lost since the beginning of the year. In the past three weeks, Target, Suncor, Sony, Bombardier, Mexx and Groupe Épicia have announced major layoffs. Job losses and bankruptcies are mounting, and the government is just watching from the sidelines.
Why is the government refusing to show economic leadership? Why has it abandoned the middle class?
