Mr. Speaker, the hon. member talked about spending, but Canadians know the difference between spending and investment. When we invest in Canadians, we create growth in the economy. In fact, just this week the Governor of the Bank of Canada said that our budget would have a positive impact on growth. Christine Lagarde, the head of the IMF, singled out Canada to say that if other countries have the capacity to do so, they should follow Canada's lead. In fact, she said that the slower growth due to the energy sector is going to be offset by an increase in public investment.
Does the hon. member think that the head of the IMF and the Governor of the Bank of Canada are incorrect?
