We believe that the best way to grow our economy and address our debt is by putting Canadians back to work. Cutting spending to attack the deficit at a time when the economy is performing so poorly hurts families and communities.
We know that there is a need for investment in infrastructure. In my riding, where we have the Champlain Bridge, there are problems with traffic. We lose $2.1 billion a year in loss of productivity. I think that investing in infrastructure would help the economy, both in the short and medium term, and it would also create jobs.
