Madam Speaker, the Liberals have yet to learn that they should never ask a former international trade minister a question they do not know the answer to. Here is the answer. I get my information from the International Monetary Fund. Members will notice that the member did not actually address investment. He talked about GDP, economic performance and regulation, but he did not talk about Canada being a destination for investment. The IMF said, “According to the latest results...the world’s top ten recipients of foreign direct investment...[are] the United States, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, China, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, Switzerland, Ireland, and Germany.” Canada is not even in the top 10. Shame on us, that we would be so far down the list. Let me suggest that the member go back to the drawing board, get his statistics right, and then come back to the House and start debating. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
