Mr. Speaker, with respect to my friend, his argument is self-defeating. On the one hand, he says we should be spending more. On the other, he says we are spending too much.
The reality is that we have made targeted investments from the very beginning of this pandemic to make sure that businesses could keep their doors open and have workers remain on the payroll. Going forward, our recovery plan is making continued target investments to ensure that more women can take part in the economy, to make sure young people have an opportunity to take part in the economy and, yes, it will also invest in infrastructure to create jobs in communities from coast to coast to coast.
Canadians can rest assured that we have had their backs from the beginning and we will not take our foot off the gas until this recovery is complete.
