Madam Speaker, the facts are clear here. Canada's economy is grinding to a halt. At the end of Q4, before the effects of blockades and COVID-19, we were at 0.1% to 0.3% growth. The Canadian economy is suffering. About $200 billion has been left out in products from Alberta.

Alberta is struggling and Canada is struggling, and there is no doubt that the actions of the Liberal government have created this.
