Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, witnesses, for appearing today.
I did want to make mention of the Champlain Bridge as well. I come from northern Alberta, which is the fastest growing area in Canada and produces more GDP per person than any place else in the country by far. We would love the federal government to build a bridge there too. I think it currently owns five bridges, three within a mile of this place, two in Quebec, and one in Atlantic Canada.
To make a point, I think the Champlain is one of the biggest bridges in the country. We certainly need infrastructure in western Canada, and Alberta in particular, because most of the transfers come from Alberta and we have very bad infrastructure compared to Quebec. I want to put that on the record, speaking for my constituents who sit in lineups for two hours every morning and every night waiting to work.
I did want to talk specifically in relation to what you mentioned. You mentioned three points, the first one being to stay the course, Desjardins. I was impressed with that because, frankly, I think we are on the right course, and I see by your comments that you think we're on the right course now. You talked about flexibility and you talked about the ability to change quickly, which is exactly what we are doing as a federal government.
Would you not agree with that?
