“We will work on stopping tax avoidance. Our economy is doing well. Canada has the fastest economic growth and the most foreign investment in the G7. We are also creating jobs three times faster than the United States.”
Official Hansard

Yes, Mr. Speaker, we are going to work on tax avoidance. That is a very important issue that the Prime Minister cares a lot about. My colleague is asking for real results. Canada has the strongest economic growth in the G7. We have created jobs three times faster than the United States, and we are leading the G7 when it comes to foreign investment. Thanks to our summit, we have $500 billion on the table from investors.
