The Government’s plan to invest in
the economy and strengthen the
middle class is working. The
recent resurgence in gross domestic
product (GDP) makes Canada the
fastest growing economy in
the Group of Seven (G7) (Chart 1.1).
The economy has created over
450,000 jobs since late 2015, and
the unemployment rate has
dropped to its lowest level since
2008
