Mark Carney Liberal
“Our economy is doing well. More Canadians are working than Americans, especially women. Business investment is up, and foreign investment is at a 20-year high. We also have a trade surplus.”
“Mr. Speaker, what matters is that people believe in this economy and are moving forward. The Leader of the Opposition does not believe in Canada. This is what is happening. More Canadians are in the workforce than the Americans. More Canadian women are in the workforce than the Americans by seven percentage points. Investment in machinery and equipment by businesses is up 10%. We have the highest level of foreign direct investment in 20 years. A trade surplus was just registered. We are building Canada strong.”
