Madam Speaker, the member asked if I would say that the country is not doing well. No, I believe the country is doing well. I do not believe what the Conservatives say when they try to mislead people. They travel the country saying that Canada is broken. Canada is not broken; it is a very healthy nation with great opportunities and capabilities.
I am not looking at the glass as being half empty; I am looking at it from the point of view that we have a government that is very proactive in promoting Canada, bringing in investments and allowing more exports to take place. We have a lot to be proud of as Canadians, and we should not be downgrading or downplaying our nation. Are there areas we can improve upon? Of course there are.
Do members remember the days of Stephen Harper? He was the most devastating prime minister when it came to the manufacturing industry in the province of Ontario.
