There is a very simple explanation for that: The Canadian economy does well when we invest in Canadians. The Conservatives failed to invest in entrepreneurship and innovation. We made those investments. They failed to invest in science and technology. We made those investments. They failed to invest in defence and trade, and we made those investments. As a result, today, the Canadian economy is at the top of the G7. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5556609\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does my colleague now understand why the Harper economy flatlined for 10 years?</p>",
