Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his question.
It is absolutely essential to invest across Canada, particularly in the regions. I remember my visit to Saint-Martin-de-Beauce. We invested a lot of money in that region.
I also want to take this opportunity to note that we have made significant investments not only in Quebec, but right across the country, particularly in Fort Saskatchewan, where 2,000 jobs were secured and 175 new jobs were created through a $49-million strategic innovation fund investment. It allowed us to invest in the heartland petrochemical complex, which was an Inter Pipeline investment.
We are making investments in Quebec, Alberta and across the country.
We will continue to invest in communities and ensure they have the capacity, the tools and the ability to maintain a sustainable business model for years to come.
