The Liberals are back at their smoke and mirrors game of saying what they will spend over many years or so. Nobody knows what even next year will be like, so to say that you can plan for 12 is unrealistic. The reality is that we are a resource exporting economy, we can not compete for most manufacturing jobs. The good jobs are in oil and related industries, but the govt is not helping to get us those jobs. They prefer that Eastern Canada continue to buy their oil from Saudi Arabia.
Getting Foreign investment also means "selling" our resources to Foreign Sovereign Funds who will control them. And now, they want to sell our Airports to the same funds, such as the Saudi Arabia or other Sunni Muslim countries. How are you going to maintain security?
That is a very bad idea to give away even some control of our national security entities. Plus, who knows how much corruption/bribery will take place in the forthcoming sale/deal. And we are losing long term income that belongs to us.
