Mr. Speaker, a budget must do two things. It must be a short-term response as well as position a nation for the long term.
The constituents from Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill have consistently told me over the last six years that they are concerned about our taxes being universally unfair, our declining competitiveness, the drastic flight of foreign capital and regulatory frameworks that are affecting our ability to position ourselves at home and abroad. We are losing jobs to the U.S. and we cannot seem to get anything built. My constituents are worried that tomorrow will not be better than today.
Could the hon. member comment on the key foundational changes in the budget to address those elements?
