Mr. Speaker, unlike the “Canada is broken” narrative from the Conservatives, we believe in our small businesses. Reports show that Canada is attracting the highest level of foreign direct investment. In fact, we are now in second place in the G7. The world trusts Canada, with our strong economy and our resilience. Under the leadership of our Prime Minister, we are securing trade agreements, creating jobs and strengthening our economy. That is how we empower small businesses in this country.
