Mr. Speaker, last week I was in Marathon, Ontario, to talk about mining. There is a mining boom in northern Ontario, something I think these guys are not aware of. Do members know what came up over and over again? It was gratitude for a government that is taking seriously the investment into natural resource extraction in northern Ontario, that is helping provinces in the country get natural resource projects off the ground, and that is taking seriously the need to invest in the skilled trades workers, who, by the way, create the great jobs with pensions in hard-working environments, which is something I think that member does not really understand.
