Mr. Speaker, Niagara is on the cusp of an accomplishment. With vision that builds on our strengths, determination and partnerships, our vision can be realized. I am pleased to say that, today, it is becoming a reality. With the water of the Welland Canal carrying goods from lake to lake as its lifeblood, and with our strategic location, the Niagara ports trade corridor is becoming the catalyst for prosperity that we envisioned. New industry and businesses are locating along the banks of the Welland Canal, prompting others to recognize what is possible in moving goods from and into Canada through Niagara, strengthening our collective, binational and international trade performance. The Welland Canal, short and mainline rail, air and a highway network through the heart of Niagara, which is a catalyst, have all combined to position Niagara as one of the most internationally recognized trade corridors in the country, providing the bedrock of Niagara's future economy and Canada's internationally integrated supply chains.

Mr. Speaker, one of the very first things, no, the very first thing we did when we came to office was lower taxes for the middle class and raise them on the wealthiest 1%. Unfortunately, not just the Conservatives voted against that. The NDP voted against that back when we first got elected. The reality is that we will continue to step up for the middle class. We will continue to invest in things such as child care, dental care, public health care, and supports for seniors and students. We know that one builds a strong economy from the bottom up and the centre out. That is exactly what we are doing.

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Guelph for his extraordinary hard work. Volkswagen's decision to build its first North American battery facility in Canada is a generational investment in jobs and clean growth. The plant will create thousands of direct and tens of thousands indirect jobs in St. Thomas and across Canada's battery and EV ecosystems. While the Leader of the Opposition continues to bet against Canada and our workers, and prefers to call it a waste, on this side, we will continue to push for a strong economy, good-paying jobs and cleaner air.

Madam Speaker, I agree with the member that we have enormous opportunity here in Canada. We are seeing the things we have done since 2015 come to fruition. We have said from the start that the economy and the environment go hand in hand, and we are seeing partnerships working in a cleaner, greener Canada. Budget 2023 is making targeted and responsible investments to build a stronger economic future for all Canadians. In the end, these will make Canada a better place to live, work and thrive for everyone. However, our government understands that the programs and services Canadians rely on, including old age security, the Canada child benefit, early learning and child care, and transfers to provinces in support of health care and education, are dependent on a national tax base. That is why, in budget 2023, we built on the progress we have made since 2015 to close loopholes, crack down on tax avoidance and ensure that the wealthiest pay their fair share.
