Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for asking such an excellent question during our first exchange in the House. I thank him for the outstanding work he does in his riding.
To answer my colleague's question, our budget includes operating costs and investments. We are making significant investments in projects. We talked a little earlier about transformative projects like the Alto project. Last week, there was also an announcement about the Crawford mine in Timmins, in northern Ontario.
The idea really is to invest and think about our children's future. I have two young daughters, aged six and 10. We really need to think about their future.
