I agree. Thank you, and continue to pursue it. I think you're going to get some support.
For the consulting engineers, this is probably the most significant revelation that I think the committee has had with regard to the underinvestment in infrastructure. This is not just “let's make some jobs and we'll have a defined period”. We have an investment deficit. I was on the finance committee over ten years ago and the problem was mildly identified at that point, but it's gotten worse.
I have not seen the publication Public Infrastructure Underinvestment: The Risk to Canada’s Economic Growth, but the title alone, “The Risk to Canada's Economic Growth”.... Virtually every banking institution, every economic input we've had at this committee, has said that we have to balance budgets. And you can't balance budgets without having sustained economic growth.
I want you to explain to the committee, as best you can, the consequences of underinvestment in this infrastructure.
