Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the hon. member for Waterloo on his excellent speech.
I remind him that the neighbouring riding of Kitchener is also encompassed within the model community cited by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
The hon. member is well known in the area for his interest in and knowledge of environmental matters. I was wondering how the budget would affect the Waterloo riding and community. He referred to the Friends of the Earth comment about the finance minister and this particular budget. Waterloo is an area where environmental related businesses are most prominent. Is it likely that those businesses will be assisted by this budget?
