I appreciate my colleague's enthusiasm for home renovations. I would like to point out that by far the majority of economists, think-tanks, and various other commentators have acknowledged that when you are in a position such as the one we are in, where infrastructure stimulus is a good idea, the stimulus should be focused on infrastructure that we as a country need anyway, infrastructure that can help ensure our future productivity and competitiveness.
I'm not sure that cottage decks qualify, but from a local construction stimulus perspective, municipalities across the country have acknowledged that affordable housing is a key priority, and that those same construction workers and carpenters and suppliers would be equally busy if we were building the affordable housing that many municipalities across the country need so desperately.
On vote 35, $3 billion--my apologies, but this will be a refrain of mine. Of that $3 billion, how much will be going into infrastructure? How much is focused on infrastructure as opposed to other programs?
