Madam Speaker, it is very important to invest in science and technology and the environment, and the government is doing that.
In my province and in Edmonton we are investing in the National Research Council's regional innovation structures on nanotechnology. We are investing in the high Arctic research station. There is additional funding for colleges and communities programs and the National Research Council's innovation clusters. We are putting over $400 million into Canada's Space Agency.
We are investing in the jobs of the future and those will include green jobs as well. We have invested a great deal in carbon capture and storage.
The investments we have put into my riding of Edmonton—Sherwood Park, in the area of Fort Saskatchewan, are helping the residents and are increasing the number of jobs.
