Mr. Speaker, if the Prime Minister really believed any of that, he would get up and say it himself. Instead, he states a few falsehoods and then goes into hiding; he cannot defend his own position.
He is spreading false information when he says investment is up. Let me quote verbatim from Statistics Canada, the Liberals' own government stats agency: “Business capital investment fell 0.7% in the first quarter of 2026, the fifth consecutive quarterly decline.”
Does this meet the master economist's definition of a technical recession, yes or no?
