 We need societies that recognize diversity as a source of strength, not as a source of weakness. Diversity isn't just sound social policy. Diversity is the engine of invention. The low oil prices are a challenge, but the Canadian economy is a lot more than just natural resources. We have extraordinary high tech sectors and innovative manufacturers and really strong biotech and mostly an educated, diverse workforce that is excited about participating in the global economy. One of the primary responsibilities of any government is to keep its citizens safe, but one of the other primary responsibilities is keep us free and true to our values. I believe that confident economies should be investing in their future, investing in their people, in education, in infrastructure, in creating greater trade deals, to bring in products, to get out resources and to be full participators in the global economy.
