Mr. Chair, I am reminded of what Woody Allen said apropos the previous comment about having taken the Evelyn Wood course and read War and Peace in 20 minutes. He said, “It's about Russia.”
I think we sometimes need a little time to answer questions. In respect to the last question, 1.2 million net new jobs have been created, 20% more, compared to closest competitor, since our government came into office. Our business performance has been the strongest in the G7 over the recovery.
According to the International Labour Organization's global wage report, Canada has the best gains in the G7 since 2006.
The Centre for American Progress says that Canada has experienced continuing middle-income growth, while for many countries it has halted.
We are doing very well compared to other countries, and we are very proud of our economic record.
