Mr. Speaker, first, may I wish the Leader of the Opposition a very happy birthday? Second, I will even give him his question back.
It is my little gift to him.
What the government is doing is putting in place the foundations of an economy that will be stronger, more resilient and more independent. In the face of U.S. tariffs, in the face of global uncertainty and in the face of higher energy prices, we are seeing business investment accelerating. We are seeing wages growing at twice the rate of those in the United States. We are seeing this country put in place the conditions for sustained prosperity.
