Mr. Speaker, to the contrary, I will point out that Canada has had fewer people die than many of the comparator countries the hon. member points to. Moreover, he is using mistaken statistics to try to trick Canadians into supporting him. If we actually want to compare the employment record of Canada against the U.S., 71% of the jobs lost during the pandemic in Canada have returned, and 56% in the U.S. We have a higher labour force participation rate than our G7 counterparts.
We have had one of the most ambitious economic recovery strategies and pandemic response strategies, and if the hon. member wants to continue to try to trick Canadians into supporting the Conservatives, I invite him to remain on the opposition side of the aisle after the next election.
