I agree. It can be problematic, but at the same time there is a lot of expertise in the country and we can identify where bottlenecks are taking place. For example, it is obvious that gridlock in the greater Toronto area actually comes with an enormous fiscal cost. Improved transportation infrastructure in the GTA can have a positive impact both in terms of the short term and creating economic activity, and also helping to facilitate private sector behaviour. We see the same thing in terms of capacity at borders.
For example, the additional bridge at Windsor is a key piece of infrastructure to help facilitate trade. I'm discouraged when I hear about Canadian businesses shipping product in B.C. to ports in the United States in order to then ship abroad because there's limited capacity at Canadian ports.
As a consequence, I agree that the challenge is finding the right projects. Given that the profile laid out in the last budget showed much of the infrastructure spending coming down the road, and that part of the delay was actually to help provide time to identify those right projects, my hope is that.... Only time will tell. The bigger the economic multiplier we get from the infrastructure investment, the better that will inform us as to whether the right projects were done.
