Mr. Speaker, what a great question from the member for Sarnia—Lambton.
Let us look at what the mayor of Sarnia said. He stated:
We had more capitol spending last year than we've ever had. It's renewing the community and creating jobs for people. The [Conservative] government did the right thing by trying to stimulate the economy.
The fact is one of the roles of the federal government is to give hope to the people....
That is exactly the type of hope that the economic action plan, authored by the best finance minister in the world, is accomplishing for the people of Sarnia.
