Mr. Speaker, the interesting thing about members of the official opposition is that they like to talk down our country. They like to talk down our economy. They want to talk down the best country in the world. It is the best country in the world. They have not seen it and they do not acknowledge it, but it is.
In our budget, we have about a 1% deficit to GDP versus the U.S. at 7%. We have a AAA credit rating. We went through a global pandemic where we had the backs of Canadians and we assisted them and businesses.
Would the hon. member not admit that any country in the world would love to have our fiscal framework to continue to make key investments in the hard-working Canadians we represent?
