Mr. Speaker, that is right, we understand the situation that people are in.
Although he spoke of the International Monetary Fund, the member forgot to tell the people watching that the International Monetary Fund said last week that Canada's fiscal situation is the most robust of the G7. The International Monetary Fund says that Canada's economic growth is almost twice that of Japan or Germany.
The good news today is also that recruitment in the Canadian Armed Forces has hit record levels. We are building this country together, with Canadians. We are going to build a strong Canada, of which we can all be proud.
