At the time we took office there were 433,000 fewer Canadians working than are working today. At the time we took office growth was anemic. The fact is that we have just come off one of the best years we have seen in a decade. In fact the OECD stated only yesterday that again this year Canada would lead all the G-7 nations.</p>\n<p>The fact is that we have had a very good record, which is due to the policies of the government. We intend to continue those policies.</p>",
