Mark Carney Liberal
“Our economy is growing strong. The latest numbers show quick growth, a trade surplus, and 88,000 new jobs last month. We added jobs and foreign investment at twice the rate of the United States.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are growing an economy that is stronger, more resilient and more independent. The flash GDP estimate for April is 0.4% growth. I will annualize that to help out the Leader of the Opposition. That is 5% growth. A trade surplus just registered the strongest job growth in the G7 in just this last month, at 88,000 jobs, which is twice the rate of the United States’, and twice the rate of foreign investment.”
