"Advantage Canada" has been released by the federal government.
It's a long-term economic plan designed to strengthen the country's economy by reducing taxes and lowering debt, among other initiatives.
Selkirk-Interlake MP James Bezan believes it's long overdue. He says families have an economic plan, and so should the government of Canada.
The plan includes developing a skilled and educated workforce and building the most modern infrastructure.
Bezan says it's the first of its kind in over 20 years.
