Mr. Speaker, the member is right that sometimes people, and politicians on both sides of the House, will be selective in the stats that they will throw out.
Let me give a stat that I believe is important. Since the last federal election, there has been an increase in employment of over 150,000. Members can cherry-pick all they want in between, but at the end of the day, there are 150,000 more jobs since this Prime Minister was elected Prime Minister, and that is given the circumstances of that election.
Canada still has a AAA credit rating, and for the first time in generations, we are investing in the Canadian military. We have actually surpassed that 2% of the GDP.
