Madam Speaker, the member is utterly wrong.
Here is an analysis from National Bank Financial by Matthieu Arseneau and Alexandra Ducharme, from several weeks ago. They say, “Consequently, GDP per capita has fallen by around 4.0% cumulatively since 2022, which is unprecedented outside a recession.”
Speaking of investments, I will quote the Governor of the Bank of Canada, Tiff Macklem, who was in front of finance committee about a month ago. On investment in the Canadian economy, he said, “Foreign capital, even some Canadian capital, is going to the United States, because they can get faster regulatory approvals.”
The fact of the matter is that the government has driven investment out of this country. As a result, it has driven down productivity, driven down per capita GDP, and made Canadians a lot poorer and this country a lot more vulnerable to an incoming new administration.
