Thank you.
I appreciate your question, because we have to recall that not just the federal government but a number of governments across the country went through considerable cost-cutting 10-plus years ago, and we're recovering from that still.
What we are looking at is social infrastructure investment. Clearly there is a need to be setting priorities around those areas in social infrastructure investment that are likely to improve, first, the quality of life and, second, the contributions Canadians can make to the economy itself.
When we look at what we can do these days, it's my view that government doesn't have to be the direct provider of all these services, but it sure has to be responsible that the resources are there, and that programs are set up that can also imaginatively leverage other resources to provide supports for the initiatives we're describing here. There is no doubt there has to be a basic commitment to social infrastructure on the part of government.
