Mr. Speaker, consistently as we crossed Canada last year and this year, we heard a call for a strategic plan for targeted investment by this government and for programs that can be sustained as opposed to throwing money at quick fixes to problems. This is exactly the kind of thing my colleague points out. This government is here for the long haul, for strategic investment and to continue a balanced approach for governing Canada.
