Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to everyone for being here, and also to my Conservative colleagues across the way for agreeing with us to do this study. I think we should work together more often on things like this so that we can get experts before us.
Mr. Gamble, I'll start with you because you were talking about long-term infrastructure funding. This is something that's near and dear to me personally, and that we in our party have been talking about for a while. You mentioned the Building Canada fund, and yes, it was I think quite the appropriate comment: seven years in politics is like a hundred years. Of course, a week is a lifetime as well.
