Mr. Speaker, job creation and the economy are in free fall.
Last year, 191,000 fewer jobs were created than just three years ago. To make matters worse, the economy shrank during three out of the past six months. Instead of doing something about it, the Conservatives keep singing the praises of the Minister of Finance, who keeps failing to show up for work.
At a time when job creation is declining and the economy is moving backward, why is the Conservatives' solution to do nothing?
