Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, maybe I can help the member. If we look at foreign direct investment per capita, Canada is number one in the G7 countries. Arguably, it would be in the top three worldwide. People living abroad deciding to invest in Canada, I would suggest, is a very good indication of why we are going to have the second-best growth in the G7 this year. That is what is being projected. The Conservative Party wants to deny that in favour of consistently being negative about Canada. That is all they do.”
