Mr. Speaker, we have more bad news from experts. New StatsCan data shows that per-person GDP is shrinking again. For the eighth time in the last nine quarters, Canadians are getting poorer.
This is a made-in-Canada per capita recession that has lasted two years, caused by a government that has driven out investment by hiking taxes on everything: income, financial institutions, housing, fuel and investment. The opposite is happening elsewhere. Yesterday, the U.S. commerce department said that the U.S. economy grew at 2.8% last quarter.
Will the government admit that this is a made-in-Canada per capita recession?
