Carlos Leitão Liberal
“The Conservatives do not understand how Canada's economy is doing. Our interest rates are stable. This shows that financial markets trust our economy and trust how our government is running it.”
“Mr. Speaker, once again, I suggest that our colleagues in the Conservative Party consult the C.D. Howe Institute’s Business Cycle Council over the weekend to gain a proper understanding of what is currently happening in the Canadian economy. Beyond that, I would also like to mention to the House that short-term and long-term interest rates in Canada are stable. What does that mean? It indicates that the financial markets have full confidence in the Canadian economy and full confidence in how the Government of Canada is managing the Canadian economy.”
