Thank you for mentioning that I was in London during the pre-budget consultation tour. I had the opportunity to meet with many stakeholders, and as much as people are feeling the squeeze in their day-to-day lives, they do want us to continue to invest, but in a responsible way. That's where we have an important role of having a balanced approach in our investments and in our spending.
The good news is that we do have a good economic record at this time. We have the best balance sheet in the G7. We have...well, actually...Canadians have created over a million jobs since 2015, and our unemployment rate is the lowest in 40 years.
The other thing is that we have to continue to make sure not only that we have a balanced approach but that we continue to invest in Canadians and also make sure we fight climate change, for example.
