Mr. Kramp, I can't argue with your good judgment and your conclusions, but one thing I would say with respect to the public service is that it's awfully difficult for them to defend themselves against partisan attacks from one political party. I think when that happens, it's up to ministers to just underline the great work that they did.
I think in the height of the economic downturn, if you ever needed an example about how important it is to have a strong government, a strong public service, it was the results of the economic action plan and the gargantuan effort that the federal public service undertook with local public service and with provincial and territorial public service.
They did an outstanding job, they deserve all the credit, and I'll take any concerns on their involvement on this issue with respect to Infrastructure Canada.
