Mr. Speaker, while it is true that some things are beyond our control, including the illegitimate and unlawful tariffs imposed by the U.S. administration, some things we do control. That includes the major projects we are building here and the help that we are providing to the middle class.
If we look at the figures for the past year, we see that inflation is in the bottom range of the Bank of Canada's estimate, that salary increases are the most impressive of the G7, at 4.7% year over year, and that the International Monetary Fund is predicting that Canada will post the second-strongest growth among G7 nations. That is what building Canada strong is all about.
