Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada is going to act within those areas of responsibility that come under its jurisdiction. We are going to make the investments Canadians want us to make for children in families of modest means, the environment, the Canadian Forces, infrastructure, and health. This is our responsibility. At our level of government, we are going to do what needs to be done.
