Mr. Speaker, we have seen the Canadian economy prove to be much more resilient than anticipated. We had $11.5 billion less of a deficit. The economy, in the last job numbers, added 88,000 jobs, 800%, exceeding expectations, recovering 80% of job losses due to the trade war with the United States. That is good news for our country, but it is not the only good news. We also had a 1.5% increase in consumer spending. We have wages outpacing inflation in every month this government has been in power. That is good news for Canada.
