“Our deficit is 11 billion dollars lower than we predicted because our economy and workers are strong. International agencies say Canada is in the best financial shape of all G7 countries.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am quite happy to talk about the deficit. In fact, the projected deficit for 2025-26 is actually $11 billion lower than what was projected, and this is because of the resiliency of the Canadian economy and the resiliency of Canadian workers. Even international agencies have said that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7. I know the Conservatives do not want to hear that, but those are the facts. They want clips and they want video. They should rely on international agencies, which do not need clips or videos. They just say the facts as they are, and they say that Canada has the strongest fiscal position in the G7. Those are the facts.”
