Windsor In Goodale's "Budget"

For Canada, Asia-Pacific’s emergence as an economic powerhouse spells opportunity if—and only if—we are prepared. This government has already begun. As announced in October, we are ready to invest $590 million in the further development of our Pacific gateway to ensure that our country is positioned to capitalize on these new opportunities.

To better connect rural, remote and Aboriginal communities to global networks, we will invest $100 million to extend broadband services.

We will also build on our strong trading relationship with the United States through, for example, the Windsor-Detroit corridor and improved cooperation under the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership.
