Mr. Speaker, let me congratulate the hon. member on being elected to the House for the first time.
When we make an economic statement and a plan, it encompasses the nation completely. We have made business cuts, tax cuts to assist families and to stimulate the economy. The whole stimulation that will take place in the Canadian economy is going to benefit his region as well.
As part and parcel of this budget, a balanced budget will put Canada's economy in a sound position which will benefit the member's region as well.
