I know exactly where I'm going, where my colleagues are going, and that's advancing the mandate priorities. Our concern, and my concern, is that we are not doing that as effectively as we can. Economic diversification, making business capital available to entrepreneurs, these are things that take cost. Correcting the serious problems with addictions, with housing, these are things that take cost. Ultimately we invest today to lower the cost in the future.

That's exactly the debate we're having right now, Mr. Speaker. My question is, are we taking our leadership from Ottawa on infrastructure investment? I hear again and again, we're waiting to match dollars from Ottawa. Are we driving this process or are we waiting for guidance from Ottawa? Because Ottawa is willing to spend, Mr. Speaker. So if the Minister can be clear on that, where the priorities are coming from?
