Stephen Fuhr Liberal
“Our economy is strong. Foreign investment is high, interest rates and inflation are low, and unemployment is going down. The government is also giving Canadians money to help pay for groceries and essentials.”
“Madam Speaker, I miss that member. I am happy to see him again. As he knows, the foundations of our economy remain strong. I will repeat them. Foreign direct investment is at a 23-year high. Interest rates remain low. Inflation remains in the Bank of Canada window. Manufacturing numbers are up. Productivity, which has been the boat anchor around our economy for years, is trending in the right direction. Hot off the press is that unemployment is going down. The economy just posted 88,000 jobs. Today, in his riding, as in mine and everybody’s in this room, Canadians are getting the groceries and essentials benefit.”
