Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to all of you for being here.
Over the last few years there has been an unprecedented level of federal investment in infrastructure. We are working with our partners in provincial governments and municipal governments and elsewhere. There are all kinds of programs under the economic action plan that invested in infrastructure. In last year's budget we made the gas tax fund a permanent fund so that the municipalities could plan over the long term and rely on sustainable and predictable funding. There is also the Building Canada fund, which is a seven-year fund.
I can think of a number of projects in my riding alone. In Airdrie, in my community where I live, there was some upgrading done to Veterans Boulevard. It was a contribution from our government of just under $2.7 million. In Cochrane, another community in my riding, there was a $3-million federal contribution and some work on Centre Avenue. In Sundre, also in my riding, there was a contribution of $3 million to the east side wastewater and water servicing. I could go on and on; there are several other examples from my riding alone.
All across the country we saw unprecedented levels of investment in infrastructure. I know that the minister has been looking at how to proceed when the Building Canada fund finishes, looking at how we can continue to work with our partners and ensure that there is future involvement in infrastructure investment. Can you give us an update on the status of that long-term planning of public infrastructure?
