Well, Mr. Speaker, just a few weeks ago,
0:09
all of these people were elected telling
0:10
Canadians they would control spending.
0:13
And on Tuesday, the king said that there
0:16
would be new fiscal discipline with a
0:18
maximum increase in spending of 2%. That
0:20
was Tuesday morning. And then Tuesday
0:22
afternoon, this government brought in
0:24
new legislation. And actually, we saw
0:26
that spending would go up by 8%.
0:30
this new prime minister who was supposed
0:32
to be a global banker. Who would have
0:34

Justin Trudeau? The honorable minister

he wants to distract Canadians from
0:52
today's good news. For once, the
0:54
Conservatives should be happy on a
0:56
Friday morning. Mr. Speaker, we're
0:58
looking at 2.2% growth in Canada. That's
1:02
higher than what economists were
1:04
predicting. We have a plan to grow the
1:07
Canadian economy. We have a plan to
1:09
build tomorrow's economy. We have a plan
1:12
for a strong Canada. That's exactly what
