Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Well, I'll start on my favourite subject, which is infrastructure. I'm from Fort McMurray and I have a condominium in Quebec for eight years. I would say after visiting the country that I don't think there's anywhere with a bigger infrastructure deficit than in my hometown of 50 years, Fort McMurray.
I'm going to start with 2004-05. The FCM came forward and identified $123 billion in infrastructure deficit across the country. I think it was the first of its kind.
The federal government responded in 2006. The Conservative federal government that was elected then responded with the biggest infrastructure rollout in the history of Canada, and now it's the longest infrastructure rollout in the history of Canada, in essence trying to gear provincial governments to put forward one-third and municipal governments to put forward one-third so that everybody contributes.
Is that fair, Mr. Woodside?
