Thank you.
Budget 2012 will be like all the budgets that came prior to it. It's about choices. We talked at the transportation committee yesterday, and on page 3 of our formal submission to this committee, we show that total government net debt to GDP is at low levels compared to what it has been over the last 21 years.
There's a capacity for the Government of Canada to not see this country go back into recession. Many Canadians would choose to repair the infrastructure and to invest in Canadians, our transportation systems, our water systems, and our health, as the previous speaker said. I wouldn't say that prison systems are at the top of CUPE's priority list; they would be at the bottom.
