Mr. Chair, I will express my gratitude in seeing my colleague back in the House. He is an informed and experienced colleague who has witnessed in the past four years the key phrase of investing in middle-class Canadians in order to grow the economy. We have demonstrated it in the last four years with investment in the Canada child benefit, in seniors, in child care, in housing, in public infrastructure and public transit and in protecting the environment. We have demonstrated that when we do this in a manner that is not only historically strong but very co-operative with provinces, territories and municipalities, we achieve great results in Canada.
