"Our government has taken deliberate action to protect our economy, supporting Canadian businesses and workers when they needed it most and then taking the necessary steps to get our fiscal house in order. Canada has one of the best job creation records in the G7, we are among the leaders in economic growth, and we have one of the most welcoming destinations for investment in the world. As we look to the future, our government will continue to work to build Canada's economy for the 21st century, both in the conventional sectors that have driven the creation of jobs and growth as well as in the growing, innovation-driven digital economy."
