Mr. Speaker, let me start where the member opposite started, which is something that is so important for this government: jobs for Canadians.
Let me point out to everyone in the House that the job recovery in Canada has been stronger than in the United States. TD pointed this out in a report that it issued on October 20. This is what was said:
No matter how you slice the data, the Canadian labour market has been on a steadier road to recovery relative to the U.S. This is true for both full and part-time employment despite similar depths of decline.
We are working hard for Canadians and Canadian jobs.
