Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives continue to talk down the Canadian economy and spin economic fiction. I would therefore like to share with the House some very important facts. First, according to StatsCan, our GDP grew at an annualized rate of 6.7%. Second, we are poised to be the fastest growing economy in the G7 next year. Third, our economy is the second fastest growing in the G7 this year, and fourth, despite the omicron variant, our GDP is back to prepandemic levels. Those are the facts.

Mr. Speaker, I would reiterate again that pollution pricing works not only to reduce pollution but to drive innovation and help create the clean economy of tomorrow, which is jobs. I know the hon. member wants to create jobs in this country. This means billions in economic development and good jobs today and tomorrow. We know where the economy of the world is headed. It is to low-carbon energy. The Conservatives are stuck in the past. We are looking toward the future.

Mr. Speaker, it is disappointing to see the Bloc Québécois playing political games. The Bloc should understand the importance of working with Quebeckers to create new economic opportunities and sustainable jobs.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives continue to talk down the Canadian economy and spin economic fiction. Let us deal in facts. StatsCan showed that our GDP grew by 6.7% in Q4. Our economy is the second fastest growing in the G7 this year. We are poised to be the fastest growing economy in the G7 next year, and despite the challenges of omicron, our economy's GDP is back to prepandemic levels. The other side can spin economic fiction. Those are the facts.
