Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to our witnesses for being here today.

My first questions are for the Office of the Auditor General.

In the OAG news release on chapter 1, there is a quote that says: “The Economic Action Plan is a huge undertaking, involving some $47 billion in federal money and a further $14 billion from the provinces and territories, within a two-year time frame”.

Now, is it fair to say that this is one of the largest--if not the largest--undertakings by the federal government on infrastructure spending?
