Mr. Speaker, I would disagree with many of the pretexts of the member from Sarnia—Lambton's question. For such things as the consumer carbon tax, it is one of the most economically efficient ways of reducing emissions. It is also a measure that was actually a Conservative climate measure. Unfortunately, it was politicized by the Conservative Party. Frankly, that is too bad for our country.
In the budget, there are major investments made to increase the productivity of our country, which is incredibly important given the economic uncertainty we are living in right now. We need to make sure we are creating opportunity for Canadians of all stripes, and particularly Canadians in my generation. The budget does exactly that, with investments in public infrastructure and in the kinds of industries that are going to drive our growth going forward.
