Mr. Speaker, there is a misunderstanding. How can the parliamentary secretary say something that is in no way based in reality?
Is my colleague familiar with Statistics Canada? It just so happens that it is part of the Government of Canada. Statistics Canada states that Canada is in a recession and that it is the only G7 country in this situation. While all G7 countries are facing the same challenges, Canada has the worst record and is the only country in a recession.
How can the parliamentary secretary say the opposite of the truth? Canadians have had enough of this sort of lie.
