Stephanie McLean Liberal
“Our economy is doing well. We have big building projects, thousands of new jobs, and wages are growing fast. Conservatives are ignoring these facts.”
“Mr. Speaker, Vancouver Islanders in the member’s riding and mine deserve facts. Labelling the economy without context does not help workers or businesses. There are 22 nation-building projects driving over $125 billion in capital investment. There were 88,000 new jobs in May, exceeding market expectations. Wages are growing almost twice as fast as in the United States. Disposable income rose 2.3%. Household savings are above historic norms. These are the facts, but I have never met a Conservative who did not let the facts get in the way.”
