Mr. Speaker, Hamilton is Canada's steel city. Hamilton industry and Hamilton workers built Canada, and our industrial base continues to power Canada's economy. Today Hamilton has one of the most diverse economies in Canada. We are a national leader in advanced manufacturing, technology, pharmaceuticals, construction and the skilled trades. Life sciences and health care are currently Hamilton's largest employment sectors.
Recently the International Monetary Fund highlighted that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7, among the highest employment growth, and the second-highest GDP growth, with growing exports and inflation under control, all despite American tariffs and global uncertainty. While there are significant challenges ahead, in no small part due to the Trump administration, Canada remains a global leader, and that is the result of serious, pragmatic leadership, starting with the Prime Minister.
