Mr. Speaker, I have explained the benefits that we as a Canadian government have put in front of families today and that are all geared toward safety, the economy and, of course, strengthening families.
What is also really important is that rural Canada accounts for about 13% of the national population and its GDP contribution is 27%. We can see that the incredible resilience and ability of rural Canada to produce those kinds of goods and provide those kinds of services to the rest of the country should be celebrated. There is no question that rural Canada is a big part of what we plan to engage when we talk about the new Canadian economy, and we are just getting started.
