Mr. Speaker, my colleague seems to have forgotten the extent to which we are in a tariff war and he refuses to recognize how much we have been there to support the auto sector, the copper sector, the aluminum sector and the steel sector.
Quebec welcomed the announcement we made this morning regarding our $1-billion investment through the Business Development Bank of Canada and our $500-million investment in our regional economic development agencies.
My colleague must recognize that we have reduced the government's operating expenses while still making investments. These investments are driving economic growth. In short, our plan is working, and we stand by it.
