Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Fréchette, thank you for your testimony today. Like my colleagues, I am looking forward to seeing the document that will be published soon.
When I read your economic outlook, I was especially interested in infrastructure spending. You note that not even half of the money earmarked for infrastructure has been spent, although spending will pick up significantly over the coming year.
The government keeps saying that investments in infrastructure will lead to growth and keep the economy going. Has the fact that not even half of the funding has been spent had an impact on Canada's economic growth?
