Ryan Turnbull Liberal
“The economy is doing well. People are spending more, and pay is rising faster than costs. Canada also added 88,000 new jobs in May, which is far more than expected.”
“Mr. Speaker, there are many signs of progress in the Canadian economy. There is a 1.5% increase in consumer spending, and GDP per capita is up almost 1%. Wages have outpaced inflation, and the new May job numbers came out just last Friday. I know the Conservatives want to completely and wilfully ignore those numbers, but there are 88,000 net new jobs in the Canadian economy, 800% beyond expectations and recovering 80% of the job losses due to the tariff threats from the United States. That is good news for Canada. We are building the foundations.”
