Replying to Jennifer McKelvie (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, the member spoke about the proactive approach of our government, so I was just hoping that he could really elaborate on what it is that excites him the most about the investments that are being made. It is important that we are investing in ourselves right now so we can build Canada strong. I would really like to know what he has found to be the most important investments, not only for the country but also for his home province.”
