Thank you.
Mr. Hyer, in Ottawa yesterday, I attended a lecture given by Sustainable Development Technology Canada, a foundation created by the government. The topic was infrastructure. The foundation's specific goal is to reduce greenhouse gases by greening infrastructure through the infrastructure contracts. These people have clearly shown, time and time again, that many more jobs would be created if infrastructures were green. They say that, in the long term, Canada would be at a great advantage if infrastructure were to be more sustainable. They were talking about all infrastructure.
Do you not find it curious that this foundation, created by the government, is telling us exactly the opposite to what the government itself is telling us, that it will be more expensive? Of course, you know that your bill is going to be attacked by a government that claims that the measures you propose are, and will continue to be, expensive. That is what we expect to hear. At the moment, any number of infrastructure projects are being put in place, costing billions of dollars. If we required all those projects to be green, or to be made greener, more jobs would be created.
Would you agree with that?
