Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from the Standing Committee on Finance for his speech.
During the last election, the NDP promised to balance the budget at all costs, but, as is standard for them, our friends in the NDP were short on ideas with respect to growing the Canadian economy.
We have come up with some ways to do just that. In our platform we put forward ways to find alternatives for funding infrastructure, because that frees up more money for rural communities. We put forward a balanced approach to approving energy infrastructure. The NDP worked hard at finding lots of things to spend money on, but was short on ideas about how to grow the Canadian economy.
I would like my colleague to provide us with some specifics on his plan for growing the Canadian economy, something Canadians so badly need.
