Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for coming out today and testifying.
My first question is for the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium.
You listed a lot of projects that you feel are worthy of funding. Although you don't like to use the term “shovel-ready”, we hear that term a lot. We also hear the term “shovel-worthy”.
What is the economic ask of funding projects that you feel will have a net positive return on investment in Canada and the Canadian economy? Does your organization have any statistics showing the dollar impact on the Canadian economy for every dollar invested by the federal or provincial government?
