“Our economy is doing well because of this government's work. Experts predict Canada will have some of the highest growth in the G7. Outside investment is up, wages have grown faster than inflation for over three years, and we just added 88,000 jobs.”
“Mr. Speaker, facts are stubborn things. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development anticipates that Canada will achieve the second-strongest growth of the G7. Over the past year, foreign direct investment in Canada reached twice what it was for our G7 peers. For 38 months, wages have risen faster in Canada than inflation. On top of it all, one especially stubborn fact that displeases the Conservatives is last month’s good news for Canada’s economy with the creation of 88,000 jobs, because Canada’s economy is a lot more resilient. This resilience is due in part to the efforts of this government.”
