Since my appointment as Minister at the end of October, there was an election in the province of Quebec. Since then, I've not had the opportunity to meet with Minister Jérôme-Forget, who is responsible for major infrastructure projects. However, I did meet with her in Montreal at the beginning of January. We were very close to reaching an agreement on several projects. She was very clear and talked about Quebec's strategy for infrastructure, which I respect. I also conveyed to her the priorities set by my colleagues in the House of Commons, and we are very close to making a major announcement. I respect the provincial government's area of jurisdiction.We are also working very hard on small projects, with Minister Normandeau and his team.
I should point out that I myself am a former provincial minister, and that I respect provincial areas of jurisdiction. That is how I intend to work.
