Madam Speaker, that member knows very well that the foundations of the Canadian economy remain strong. I will give a couple of good examples of that.
Foreign direct investment is at a 23–year high. Interest rates remain low. Inflation remains at the Bank of Canada window. Manufacturing numbers are up. Even productivity in Canada is trending in the right direction. Hot off the press: unemployment is down, job creation is up and 20,000 people in my riding will get the groceries and essentials benefit today. We could not be happier.
