Mr. Speaker, this is the time in the life cycle of any Liberal government when it goes from making promises to making excuses. It is blaming its collapsing economy on global tensions.
Interestingly, Mexico shares the same neighbour as we do. We are both right next door to America, so we can compare performance. However, in the most recent quarter, the Mexican economy has actually grown by 2.4% and the Canadian economy is down by 1.6%. Our unemployment is three times what Mexico's is.
Why?
