IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Mr. Speaker, during this final question period before the summer recess, I would have expected the Leader of the Opposition to thank the Prime Minister of Canada for the work he did at the G7 summit. We brought back 13 deals that will generate $5 billion.

Mr. Speaker, let me remind the leader that we will take no lessons from the Conservatives. He needs to be reminded. We have the second-fastest growing economy in the G7.

Mr. Speaker, as we come to the end of the session, we would expect the Leader of the Opposition to be a bit more cheerful because, in fact, there is good news. If he wants to look at results, Canada is the second-fastest growing economy in the G7. We have seen that investment in machinery and equipment is up.

Mr. Speaker, we hear the Conservatives talk against the economy. On this side of the House, we are proud. We are proud to have the most skilled workers in the world. We are proud to have an auto industry, a maritime industry, and an aerospace industry. We are proud to have critical minerals for the 21st century.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking the member for Hull—Aylmer for his question and for all his leadership. I am sure that my colleagues will agree with me. He is right. Last week, we unveiled the national food security strategy, because we know that food security is a top priority for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, my colleague will be pleased to hear that the Canadian economy ranks second in the G7 in terms of growth. Not only are we seeing growth, but we are also seeing investment; Bombardier is a perfect example of that. Quebec's aerospace industry is thriving. We have always been there to defend our industries.

  1. I thank Estonia for convening today’s important open debate, and I am grateful to you, Madam President, for your efforts to make the Security Council more open and transparent during your country’s presidency. Canada welcomes the report of Secretary-General António Guterres on the protection of civilians in armed conflict (S/2020/366). I could not agree more with the Secretary-General’s appeal for political will to prioritize the protection of civilians and to ensure accountability. He has our full support. In two days, the world will mark the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. They are the most visible manifestation of the collective commitment of the United Nations to protect civilians and pursue peace in times of conflict.
