Mr. Speaker, I thank our colleague for his congratulations. It will come as no surprise that we do not share his pessimism. We have every confidence in the Canadian economy, in Canadian workers and in the fall economic statement, which gave Canadians a great deal of hope in terms of support for these difficult economic times.
We have also announced significant investments. I look forward to sharing more details later today about the border measures that will further protect Canadians and reassure our American friends. We are working to support Canadians.
