“Mr. Speaker, I always find my colleague’s comments very informed and knowledgeable, and I do feel that they elevate the quality of the debate in this House, so I thank him for that. This morning I was at a meeting with the Parliamentary Budget Officer, and she spoke about the spring update. She described Canada’s economy as being resilient, and she also spoke about how a number of economic indicators had surpassed what had been forecasted. I just wanted to add those comments in support of those that were made by my colleagues. Could my colleague expand on his knowledge and experience of the sovereign wealth fund from a Quebec perspective?”
