Mr. Speaker, throughout my great riding of Leeds—Grenville there are shovels in the ground, there are roads, sewers, and other infrastructure works being built and repaired, and folks are looking forward to the future.
Everywhere I travelled in my riding this summer the people told me they are pleased with the direction our government has taken to help position Canada to face tomorrow.
This summer I attended openings of the new ethanol plant in Johnstown and a wind farm on Wolfe Island, major investments in green industries that our government is supporting.
I saw dollars flowing directly to community futures development corporations to help kick-start local economic development, economic development that is supported by our government.
My constituents have one message: Remain focused on the economy and do not have an expensive and unnecessary election.
