Mr. Speaker, the hon. member mentioned the cost of living. Let us talk specifics here. A Bloomberg-Nanos poll showed that the Canadian consumer confidence index is at a 30-month high. Due to the actions and programs of our government, a severe recession and global inflation, which was a big problem for Canadians too, have been managed well in Canada now that the inflation rate has come down to 1.6%. Interest rates have also been cut for a fourth consecutive time to 3.75%.
Canada is the best performing in all these parameters compared to any other G7 country, and so much so that the IMF has predicted that next year, Canada will be leading in GDP growth among all G7 countries. I would like the member to tell us which other G7 countries have done better and under what parameters.
