Mr. Speaker, part of our stimulus package is reducing the taxes for all Canadians. When Canadians are not sending money to government, they have more money in their pockets and have more money to invest. Therefore, part of our stimulus package includes lowering taxes.
We are also ensuring that the stimulus investments we make, at a time when the country is hurting and when jobs are in transition, are in the kinds of infrastructure that will create jobs locally, infrastructure such as roads, bridges, buildings and community centres that will benefit communities for many years to come and will create the employment that people need right now.
Of course, the other part of the stimulus package is helping those people who are displaced and ensuring they get the EI benefits they need and the retraining they need to be successful in the new economy that will come out after the recession.
