Mr. Speaker, this budget invests in lowering the cost of living and creating jobs, including with $2 billion for the critical minerals sovereign fund. Critical minerals are in our phones, computers, solar panels, medical equipment and more. Canada is rich in minerals, with projects in ridings held by Conservatives, the Bloc Québécois, the NDP and Liberals, including in my home, the Northwest Territories. These investments mean good jobs, including in Ontario, and stronger communities and will keep Canada a leader in technology, defence and health care.
The Mining Association of Canada has applauded the budget, and I hope members opposite will too.
