Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to compliment the hon. member for Miramichi for her fine Address in Reply to the Speech from the Throne.
Clearly, the uncertain economic situation around the world has provided challenges for Canada. However, by working together, I am confident that we will face these challenges head on. I wonder if the hon. member would elaborate to this House some of the issues that are important to her constituents to strengthen the local economy in her riding at this important time.
