A number of factors underlie this issue.
Indeed, we have noted a downward trend in infrastructure investments, not only in Canada, but also around the world. Today, we see that there are shortcomings in that area. Infrastructure has gotten too old. That is why the IMF is sort of taking everyone to task by asking that countries once again start investing in infrastructure.
We have to wonder where that downward trend comes from. It should be pointed out that health, education and infrastructure are not funded in the same way. Basically, infrastructure is financed through debt, while health and education expenditures are planned within the existing budgets.
I think there is a way to increase our investments in infrastructure without necessarily dipping into the funding set aside for health and education. I think it is possible to do both.
