“Canada's economy is doing better than expected. Our deficit is down, we added 88,000 jobs, people are spending more, and wages are growing faster than inflation.”
“Mr. Speaker, we have seen the Canadian economy prove to be much more resilient than anticipated. We had $11.5 billion less of a deficit. The economy, in the last job numbers, added 88,000 jobs, 800%, exceeding expectations, recovering 80% of job losses due to the trade war with the United States. That is good news for our country, but it is not the only good news. We also had a 1.5% increase in consumer spending. We have wages outpacing inflation in every month this government has been in power. That is good news for Canada.”
