Mr. Speaker, that is a great question from a wonderful MP. It is the first time I have received a question from her in this chamber, and it definitely will not be the last.
Forty-one per cent of Canadians voted for the Conservative platform in the election. That is a substantial number of Canadians, and a record, in fact, in this modern age. I think the government would be well placed to take some of these ideas and recognize that they resonate in cities, of course, but they also resonate in areas in rural Canada, where people want and need more development but do not need to come cap in hand to ask the government to please put them on the list or to hire the right lobbyist to get them on the list.
I appreciate the opportunity to address these issues today.
