Ryan Turnbull Liberal
“The Conservatives ignore the facts about our economy. Our deficit is down by 11 billion dollars. Canada has the strongest financial position in the G7. Manufacturing is growing, and our economy is doing better than expected.”
“Madam Speaker, the Conservatives have never met a fact they could not deny. The spring economic update shows $11 billion less of a deficit and strong fiscal guardrails. The International Monetary Fund recently stated that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7. There is not only that: Headlines last night said that we have recently seen the largest monthly growth in the manufacturing industry in three years. Statistics Canada is projecting that Canada’s annualized GDP growth for the first quarter in 2026 is 1.7%, which is beyond expectations. Even the Bank of Canada governor said he is encouraged by the direction the federal government is taking.”
