Mr. Speaker, let me be clear about the success of our government's policies in supporting Canadian workers and Canadian jobs.
As of January, Canada had recovered 71% of the jobs lost since the beginning of the pandemic. That compares with only 56% recovered in the U.S. Canada has a 64.9% labour force participation rate. That is higher than Germany, at 56%, and the U.S., at 61.7%. It is higher than Japan and higher than South Korea.
We are doing well in tough times.
