Thank you, Minister, for being here.
It's interesting to hear this dialogue. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it, except to say that the opposition, the NDP, are obviously focused on job creation just for the sake of job creation, not for results.
All your comments as you delivered them earlier today are on the results, the things that have been achieved, and the better efficiencies that have been achieved. Of course, their line of thinking is just to create more and more bureaucracy and administration and everything will be fine.... That's their job creation program.
I would like to talk to you about some of the results, and in particular, those that you have achieved in FedDev, sir. Those results that I'd like you to speak about relate to something that's very near and dear to municipalities.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities talks about it constantly, and it's in the front of their minds all the time now: public infrastructure. I'd like you to speak about some of the investments that FedDev specifically has made, or some of the overall guidelines for FedDev programs in terms of assisting municipalities as well as other organizations in developing infrastructure in Ontario specifically.
