Madam Speaker, as a member from the Montreal area, I support any investment that strengthens the region's economy. I do not follow this file as closely as my colleague does, but I believe the government issued a report last summer on the state of the Canadian aerospace industry. I assume this report provided an overview of the industry's economic impact. I expect the report will be used as a basis for a future strategic approach to this industrial sector.

Mr. Speaker, our government respects collective bargaining. Our government respects having a negotiated settlement at the negotiation table. Let me take this opportunity to talk about exactly what is in our budget that was prepared with, and by, public sector workers with our own government members. In my home city of Edmonton, Heidelberg Materials is going to create the world's first net-zero cement plant, with $1.36 billion worth of investment. Why? Because the tax credits are right in the budget. It will produce thousands of jobs, shows national leadership, and is an international first in Edmonton thanks to our government.
