“The facts show our economy is doing well. Alberta has added 40,000 jobs since the start of the year. Our debt costs are low compared to other countries. Our deficit is the second lowest in the G7 at 2.5%, compared to 8.5% in the U.S. We will also reach our financial targets a year early.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for that tour through the Conservative cinematic universe, but let us get back to the facts here. The reality is we have seen in our home province of Alberta an increase of 40,000 jobs since the start of the year. We are seeing debt servicing at low levels internationally. Our deficit is the second lowest in the G7, 2.5% compared to the U.S.’s 8.5%. We are on track to meet the targets we said we were going to meet a year ahead of schedule, in fact.”
