Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my hon. colleague on his election as well. I look forward to working with him in the House.
Basically, the money comes from creating jobs and economic growth. As the government, in my opinion, our job is to have and create an environment that enables private sector growth to build, succeed, create wealth, create jobs and create a tax base, and that is how we come up with that money.
We cannot magically find this money by borrowing, because we know how that worked out for the province of Ontario. The third-biggest line item on its budget is interest on provincial debt. How does one get ahead when one continues to pay high interest rates? It does not work for a government. It does not work for a household. It does not work for a business.
I look forward to working with the member in expanding high-speed Internet to rural parts of Ontario and in the country. Also, my encouragement, my advice, would be to create that environment that would allow private sector growth to succeed.
