François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“Canada's economy is strong. The IMF says our growth will be the second fastest in the G7.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have a great deal of respect for my colleague. I know it is Friday, but I think he is asking the wrong question. The real question today is: How does Canada compare with the other G7 countries? Last week, the IMF told us that Canada will have the second-fastest growth in the G7. These are facts. I know that my colleague knows deep down in his heart that this is the truth, and I am sure he will go and share the good news with all his constituents. Canada is in a strong position. Together, we will build a strong Canada.”
