First of all, let me say that this is a great question. That's why it's great to be sitting in Parliament with members like you, from a younger generation, who are joining the ranks and really looking forward. This is because a lot of the measures in this budget are about the future. They're about young people. They're about people like you or those you represent. It's great.
The productivity superdeduction is a game-changer. For other members who have maybe been sitting here for a few more years, this has been the conundrum in Canada. I can think of the economists in the room. Increasing productivity in this country is something that the country has been trying to address for a number of decades. This is our effort to really change the course and to make capital investment a national priority to support businesses in investing more in plant equipment, machinery, technology, AI and robotics. We need to make sure that our industries are more productive.
You're right. In the world we live in, we have to take all the measures we can to make our businesses more productive, open new markets, remove bottlenecks, improve our trade corridors and put tools in the tool box to enable SMEs to invest.
