Mr. Speaker, the Fraser Institute has revealed where 35 developed countries rank on its Misery Index.

Thanks to its high rates of inflation and unemployment, Canada is ranked the sixth most miserable country. That does not come from me, it is what the report says.

This ranking does not even include January's data, which confirms that 200,000 jobs were lost.

Jason Clements, the institute's executive vice-president, stated that “Canadians are rightly concerned about the country's high inflation and unemployment rates”.

Will the Prime Minister finally admit that his economic strategy for Canada is a pathetic failure?
