Thank you for your question.
Ms. Chatel, I want to thank you for your hard work on this committee and in your rural riding.
I completely agree with the two ideas you proposed in your question.
First, the green transition is of key importance for Canada and the entire world. Second, it's absolutely essential that we include the rural economy in that green transition, and the budget absolutely tends in that direction. I want to emphasize that much work remains to be done and that I'm eager to forge ahead with you.
I want to point out that a provision outlined on page 84 of the budget concerns the rural economy and the measures we're taking. We understand that there are special needs.
I'm going to talk about a few important measures, the first of which is the critical minerals strategy, which represents a $3.8 billion investment. It's important for the entire country, but especially for the rural communities. Furthermore, the decision to double the labour mobility tax deduction to $4,000 will be very effective in helping people move around the country. This is a very important decision concerning the labour shortage in rural communities.
There are a lot of other measures, but I'll stop there so you can ask another question, if you wish.
