Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from York West for her tremendous work in this place and on a committee wherein I had a chance to serve with her when she was the chair. It was a great indoctrination into the House.
These are important considerations. The plight of all Ontarians, the opportunities and potential that our province has to enable job creation, to enable greater investment are at the core of our government and our finance minister's approach to try to encourage Ontario in the right direction.
I think it is completely appropriate to make public comment about the kind of issues faced not just by our country but our various provinces and territories and to sight as an example those provinces that are steering the right course, like Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, all of those that are striving for a lower tax regime to attract more investment. Not withstanding the political commentary that has ensued from this, the principle is that we do the very best we can to encourage the right decisions in the province of Ontario so all Ontarians can benefit.
