we begin with stephen harper. mr. harper: ladies and gentlemen, this election is about who has the proven experience to keep canadians safe and our economy strong. we know that the global economy remains in a state of turmoil. we have falling oil prices. we have market turmoil in china. we have a debt crisis in europe. but through it all, since the end of the global financial crisis, we have the best economic growth. the best job creation. and the best growth in middle-class incomes among any of the advanced, developed nations. while other countries are descending into spirals of debt and deficit with tax hikes and cuts to their programs and services and economic stagnation . in this country we have a balanced budget with lower taxes, increased money for the things that matter. transfers for health care, education. for infrastructure. and benefits for families like yours. the other parties want a different course. they would replace our low tax balanced budget plan. they want to spend tens of billions of dollars addit

wells: thank you stephen harper. mr. mulcair: would like to thank maclean's and rogers for the debate. and all of you at home for joining us in the middle of the summer. in this election there is a clear choice. four more years of stephen harper's conservatives or my plan for positive change. under mr. harper's plan, incomes are's degnan -- are stagnant. mr. harper has the worst job record since the second world war. he has run up eight deficits in a row and added $150 billion to canada's debt. these values, mr. harper's plan is not working. some have incentives to jail. the biggest risk is four more years of mr. harper's government. it is time for change, change built on hard work, accountability. these have guided my 35 years of public service and the values that will continue to guide me. my number one priority is kickstart the economy and get canadians working. we will invest in local infrastructure and help small businesses to create jobs. we understand good jobs and a clean environment go hand-in-hand. i have fough

harper? >> moderator: the first question goes to stephen harper. mr. harper, used to promise you would name senators if they had not been elected. now you're promising you won't name senators at all. do you blame the courts for blocking reform and chip as the provinces to come up with ideas for reform. the course and the provinces did name senators who are in trouble, you did. do you owe canadians an apology for putting mike duffy, family and others in the senate? harper: first of all i did not mean all the senators that are in trouble. the senate has been institution that is these kind of problems for 150 years. i with you for the first time we have a senate but now it's clear rules and is enforcing those rules. what i will say is this, paul. my role is not to apologize for the bad actions of others. and that actions arise the world until there is to take responsibility and hold people accountable and that's what we are doing. >> moderator: your policy is now cannot name senators indefinitely. there's a court case before a judge in british columbia on

torlet: bloomberg spoke stephen harper. everyone predicts that the canadian economy will be at or near the top of the g7. we believe and the bank believes that the oil price shocks should be transitory on the canadian economy. joe: david rosenberg of luskin hef -- luskin chef -- of glusskin-scheff is still with us. david: i think there's a lot of hope behind the comment about oil price. fewve found people -- people who have called that successfully. the bank already cut rates earlier in the year in light of what the oil price had done. i don't think many people thought they were going to cut prices. the story in canada isn't just about energy. it's about how the spread has affected other sectors as well, including manufacturing. and i think the big surprise in canada is, even with the canadian dollar declining as much as it has, really, it has only following this much before in a 12 month span in the 2009 global collapse -- only fallen this much before in a 12-month span in the 2009 collapse. gdp here today in canada has st

it's my honor to be here on behalf of prime minister stephen harper and the canadian government today and two of my parliamentary colleagues are here in washington with me. i'm also honored to be here as canada's veterans affairs minister and as someone who wore the canadian armed forces uniform because of inspiration from your generation. and i want to thank the united states congress for this prestigious honor. extraordinary recognition for extraordinary efforts. 1800 americans and canadians came together to form the first special service force. they were united in training to become a commando force that would be disruptive on the battlefields of europe. they were also united in the knowledge that their service and the unique style bore extreme risks and their service was tremendous and, indeed, legendary by now in italy and in france. in anzio in particular where they fought for 99 days without relief. so we're fortunate today that this special occasion allows us to bring some of them together. we get to hear from charlie, and eugene and we get to remember those who are not with u
