Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Deputy Prime Minister Freeland, for being with us today and answering our questions.
We have been spending a lot of time talking about the spend within federal budget 2022, but I believe that the vast majority of the budget, at least 60% of the budget, is allocated towards growing the economy in Canada.
Can you speak to what you think the key elements are for economic growth and why you think the focus on economic growth is so important?
