The member from Ottawa Centre asked about specific investments in the budget. The specific investment that I’m referring to is the $13.4 million to continue the Guns, Gangs and Violence Reduction Strategy, which of course, as we know, is the primary way of busting up the drug supply chain, so that the drugs don’t reach people on the street and the people who the member from Ottawa Centre was talking about.

So my question to the member is this: Given that he wants specific investments in the budget to assist the people he spoke about, will he support that specific measure, the $13.4 million to bust up the drug supply chain, or will he be continuing to promote the NDP “defund the police” policy?

I come from the Essex region, and in Essex region, we used to have General Motors, but as a result of the lack of automotive policies from the Liberal government, General Motors left the Essex region. The member from Oshawa was speaking—and the member from Oshawa is very fortunate, because not only is General Motors still in Oshawa, but based on the remarkable economic governance of the province by this PC government, General Motors has committed an additional $2 billion to Oshawa and Ingersoll in automotive investments. That’s $2 billion more. Will the member vote in favour of keeping automotive investment in Oshawa based on this government’s policies?
