Mr. Speaker, I have an immense amount of respect for the member, in the sense that he brings to the table a great deal of head knowledge with respect to the province of Ontario. I believe he has an appreciation of the degree to which the federal government needs to work with provinces, territories and indigenous communities in order to further advance economic strength for one Canada, where all regions will benefit from it.
I am wondering if he could expand on his thoughts with regard to the whole sense of co-operation and people working together in a team Canada approach and the economic benefits of doing so.
