Mr. Speaker, the budget will be presented in the House of Commons today at 4:10 by the Deputy Prime Minister, at which time the House will understand exactly what is in budget 2022. The economic fundamentals are sound. In 2021, we had the largest trading surplus since 2008. We will have the fastest growing economy in the G7 next year, and the second-fastest this year. It is such good news for Canadians. I do not know why the Conservatives do not want to share it.

Mr. Speaker, we introduced Canada's first ever intellectual property strategy in 2018 with investments of over $85 million, and we have built on those investments. Budget 2021 proposed to invest $90 million to create ElevateIP, a program to help accelerators and incubators provide start-ups with access to intellectual property expertise. Moreover, budget 2021 also proposed $75 million for the National Research Council's industrial research assistance program to provide high-growth client firms with access to expert intellectual property services.
