Oh, I must tell you that your answers during question period are good too, Mr. Gourde.
I must say we've established a five-part action plan for infrastructure so that things move more quickly. We've tabled the budget bill, we've made changes to environmental studies and the way we work with the provinces for this stimulus funding.
It's essential to have good partnerships. It isn't always easy; every level of government has its own priorities. It's essential to work together, to approve a good list that meets needs in the areas of public transit, culture, roads, bridges...
We've made progress with regard to Quebec. It isn't as quick as I would like, but we're going to table a report in the House in June. We made good announcements in Thetford Mines, and Lévis. There's PRECO.
We also have a list under review, and I'm hoping that, in the coming days or weeks, there will be new announcements and new projects that can start up as soon as possible.
The proposal has changed a great deal. I'm a former provincial minister and I respect provincial jurisdictions. The provinces don't work for the Government of Canada. We're working in partnership. In the partnership, it's not our responsibility to micro-manage every project.
I hope that the provinces will ultimately be happy with the results. As a large number of projects will be carried out in the provinces, I would like to emphasize that cultural projects are important. We made a good announcement yesterday of a cultural project and we will be doing more in future. I'm sure this is a priority for your citizens as well.
