Minister, I'd like to discuss how the investments are made.
You mentioned $70 billion in funding. Is the government conducting a study on the economic repercussions locally? When investments are made, is there a requirement to ensure that the communities concerned derive economic benefits?
Let's take the Champlain Bridge, for example. Imagine how many jobs would be created if there was a Canadian component requirement, which would be entirely in keeping with the free-trade agreements we have with other countries.
