Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to get back to issues raised earlier on by my colleague in questions to representatives from Infrastructure Canada.
We did note that several million dollars were spent in cities around Huntsville, cities 75 or 85 kilometres away. Funding went to everything from improving the lighting system on public roadways to building benches, enhancing streets, replacing sidewalks with interlocking brick, landscaping, and building heritage plaques.
I'm asking you this question once again because you did not quite answer my colleague's question. Who authorized these expenses?
