Mr. Speaker, I would argue that a false argument is being presented by the side opposite. When we look at how we are investing in Canada with Canadians, we are determined to build the strongest economy in the G7. That is the goal, and we will achieve that goal with the Prime Minister.
When we talk about the debt, we should recognize that Canada has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7. When we talk about the deficit, Canada has the second-lowest deficit in the G7. Only Japan has done better. We are one of two countries in the G7 who have a AAA credit rating.
Why does the member opposite not agree that it is time to build Canada strong? Why did the Conservatives not move an amendment?
