This is essential to our nation. If you look at nations that succeeded in the 20th century and even before, they all have strong manufacturing sectors. Look at South Korea, Japan and Germany. There's even a report comparing Canada and Germany on innovation and the strength of manufacturing. It's not by accident that the International Monetary Fund said.... I said, “generational”. It's the largest investment plan in infrastructure, innovation and housing in the G7. Many would refer to the German plan, which is $500 billion over 12 years. If you translate that into Canadian dollars, it would be $800 billion over 12 years. For us, it's $450 billion over five years. You could even say that the Canadian plan is the largest in the G7, and we're not even adjusting for size of the economy, with Germany being the largest economy in Europe.
That's why what we've done is generational. That's why I'm happy to stand with you to fight for our workers, fight for our industry and fight for our country.
