Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for the question. I represent the riding of Waterloo—Wellington in Ontario and I am certainly proud to do so. I do know that we are on the cusp of great prosperity in this great nation. That is because we as a government have laid the foundation that enables us to take our place in the future and in the 21st century. That is very important to note.
The hon. member spoke about the G-7. We are the envy of the G-7 in terms of what we are doing. For the past number of years the United Nations has repeatedly shown that we are the leading nation when it comes to the kinds of things we do for ourselves and for our people. I think that is very important to note.
With the research and innovation we have included in this budget, we will ensure that our young people have the fair chance here that is needed and necessary. This we do in the interests of all Canadians.
