Madam Speaker, I wonder if the member would comment on the following. He has said that foreign investment has plummeted during the time of government, while at the same time acquisitions by state-owned and state-controlled enterprises have gone through without review. That has resulted in something that was best captured in last week's Globe and Mail article titled, “The growing threat of a low-wage future for Canadians”. I just want to quote two lines from that editorial. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ranks this country last in potential economic growth over the next 40 years. If that OECD forecast becomes reality, the Canada of 2060 will be a relatively poorer country, falling further and further behind other advanced economies into second-tier status. Would the member comment on that?
