Spending on infrastructure that gets goods and services to markets, such as ports and rail, etc., is very important.
We know the numbers. A $1 investment in infrastructure provides $1.60-$1.64 in benefits to the economy. Right now, the Canadian economy needs it. I'm of the personal view that we need infrastructure on the maintenance side, because there's a maintenance backlog, an infrastructure deficit, but at the same time, we have to take the longer view. Whether it's a 4-year, 8-year, 12-year, or 20-year horizon, we need infrastructure dollars flowing to where we have gridlock. If goods and services can't get to market—call it the GTA issue—it's costing our economy billions of dollars. It's important that we do something about it. That's what we're going to do.
I'll end my remarks there. How long do I have?
