It's very much, I think, as the Prime Minister says, we're just getting started.
We've got a lot of work to do.
Keep pushing on.
I do think that the government, including through this fiscal update this week,
has been saying we're going to do things that people didn't see necessarily coming.
We're going to build more infrastructure.
We're going to spend on things that we think are good bets in terms of the long-term health of the economy.
And I think that's what,
the Prime Minister intends to do, and I think that does create some confidence on the part of Canadians, even as it makes some say, wow, it's a lot of money that's being spent, or is government trying to pick winners, and has that ever worked that well in the past?
It's a good debate to have, but it is a domestic debate.
It's a debate about a policy choice that the government is pushing forward on.
I saw someone wrote a piece that was really about whether the civil service, the bureaucracy is fully able to execute on that vision or is built for more of a slower pace, a little bit more care in executing something that's kind of as big as some of these plans.
I think that's an interesting tension that's going on in the city, but I think it's a domestic thing.
So both parts work together.
Okay.
No, I agree with what you just said, Peter.
And I agree with Chantal's point, too.
I think that the choice for him...
I think it goes like this.
I run, I lose.
