Mr. Speaker, I tell you what’s going to happen, and what has continuously happened in the province of Ontario, is that the people of the province of Ontario continue to prosper because of the policies of this government.

The Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade just talked about a massive investment that is coming to Ontario. This is on top of $27 billion worth of other investments.

We all know that when they had the opportunity, they literally drove out the auto sector. Do you remember that? The auto sector was gone, and they were transitioning to a service economy. We said that we’re going to reinvest and bring jobs back to the province of Ontario.

The member asked, who’s going to prosper? The people of the province of Ontario will continue to prosper. Ontario Place will bring thousands of jobs. It will bring thousands of tourists from all over Ontario, all over the United States. It is a destination that we should continue to be proud of, but, unfortunately, under the Liberals and NDP, they allowed that destination to crumble. We are bringing it back to life, just as we brought it to life when Bill Davis was the Premier. We’re going to bring it back to life and make it even better than before.

I tell you what’s happening, Mr. Speaker. Do you know who’s going to get new things? The city of Toronto is going to get new buses and trains because of the deal. That’s what’s going to happen. Our streets will be safer; our buses and our transit system will be safer because of this deal. We will revitalize a destination that she calls a “jewel.” We’re actually going to revitalize it so people want to come back to it.

Thousands of jobs will be created by this. So, who’s going to prosper? The people of the province of Ontario will prosper. It is a gift for all of Ontario.

I know the member has weddings on her mind. She was just married recently. I congratulate her for that, Mr. Speaker; I think we all do.

It highlights the problem of today’s NDP. They stand for nothing. They’re angry at each other. They’re angry at the province. They’re angry at the people. And that is why they keep losing election after election after election.
