Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague's questions are usually about equalization, but we would welcome Newfoundland and Labrador to the have provinces, and we congratulate it for that. We have seen a few changes in the country this year.
I might remind the hon. member that this Conservative government always ensures that taxpayer dollars are utilized in the most efficient way. Many public-private partnerships are willing to step forward. We may in fact, and I am sure the hon. minister will allude to this in his speech, be able to triple this investment through partnerships to provide the economic stimulus that we need to get this economy growing again.
