Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I apologize, but we will have to proceed very quickly today for the reasons mentioned by our chair.
I will begin with the representatives of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. I want to thank Councillor Goneau who, with her usual passion, has done a good job of representing her federation and her city today.
Tomorrow, we will hear from Mr. Barton. I am sure he will talk about his recommendation to the Minister of Finance with regard to an infrastructure bank. You briefly mentioned that in your presentation, but I am giving you an opportunity to clarify FCM's position or to say more about other infrastructure funding streams.
