Madam Chair, I believe and I know that people who are 75 and up are older, so it makes sense that they would have greater needs.

Madam Chair, that is correct, it is exactly like saying it is light out in the daytime, and that is why our program is clear and correct.

Madam Chair, if the member has questions about inflation and interest rates, I want to assure him that we have a prudent program to manage the country's debt.

Madam Chair, I greatly respect the independence of the Bank of Canada, which made an important announcement last week.
I do not wish to make a comment.

Madam Chair, I would like to add a comment to the previous question. The Conservatives may think it a good thing to question the independence of the Bank of Canada, but that is not our position.

Madam Chair, if the member has questions or concerns about inflation and debt, I think it is important to explain to him that our government has a prudent debt management strategy. The government—

Madam Chair, it is important to explain to Canadians that the federal government's share of long-term bond issuance increased to about 29% in 2020. We are now proposing to increase that to 40%—

Madam Chair, if the member thinks it is important to support the provincial and territorial health care systems, then he must support our Bill C-30, which includes $4 billion for the health care systems of the provinces and territories.

Madam Chair, once again, if the member thinks that supporting the health care system is important, the budget also earmarks $1 billion to support vaccination campaigns in the provinces and territories. That is one more reason to support the budget.

Madam Chair, the budget contains a lot of support measures for farmers across the country. This support was necessary, and we have provided it.

Madam Chair, I agree with the member opposite that the energy sector is a vital part of the Canadian economy, and I would remind all members of this House of the very effective orphan wells program, which our government put in place with strong support from the provinces. In terms of this budget, one measure that I think is really worth highlighting is the tax incentive on carbon capture, utilization and storage.
I see, Madam Chair, that you are rising, but I will be happy to talk about this some more in further questions.

Madam Chair, I just want to say a couple of things about carbon capture, utilization and storage, because this is so important for our energy sector. It is important for the planet. This new tax incentive, for which we are launching a 90-day consultation, is going to really help Canada and the Canadian energy sector make the green transition and make the leap into a clean and green economy. It is an important measure, and I am glad it is there.

Madam Chair, actually, I was talking about natural resources.
Let me just talk about one other aspect of natural resources where I see tremendous potential for Canada, and that is in heavy earths and the critical minerals and metals for electric batteries. There is a huge opportunity here for Canadian leadership, and this budget makes big investments in electric cars, in batteries and in that whole value chain.

Madam Chair, I have to say to the member opposite that I have a real interest in agriculture, too.
This budget makes tremendous investments in agriculture. Let me talk about the clean fuel standard, which is going to be transformative for Canadian canola producers. I spoke recently with Kyle Jeworski of Viterra, and he told me about the investment in canola crushing they are working on, which will be tremendous for our canola producers. Likewise, our investments in the green transformation for farmers will be very important for the sector. Let me just mention wild salmon, another natural resource.

Madam Chair, there is just so much good stuff in the budget, and I do want to touch on all the issues that the member opposite is raising.
She talked about early learning and child care, and I am delighted she raised that issue. This is one of the key investments this budget proposes. This will drive long-term growth for the Canadian economy and provide a huge amount of relief to Canadian families.
The member asked about the role of provinces and territories. Of course, this needs to be a shared effort. We are already working with provinces and territories on this. I have to say that I believe there is going to be real enthusiasm, because everyone understands this is what Canada needs for jobs and growth.
