Mr. Speaker, as economic growth continues to accelerate, this government is making great strides toward steering Canadians back on the road to competitiveness. Strengthening Canadian industry will continue by building a healthier marketplace, promoting workplace innovation, expanding trade, improving our infrastructure and harnessing leading edge technology.
Etobicoke-Lakeshore business leaders who previously impressed upon me the need to make Canada more competitive are now telling me that we are on the right track. They support the government's effort to assist the private sector in innovation and job creation. Competitive wages, low manufacturing costs, available tax incentives, encouraging research and development, a suitable workforce and an excellent quality of life all add up to an ideal community in which to do business.
I look forward to the Etobicoke-Lakeshore business community and the government working together in a greater partnership to build a more innovative economy.
