There is never bad news. I have been there: I know that.
Mr. Lebel, we agree with the infrastructure program, given that we created it. As a minority government, we even urged the Conservative government to continuing moving it forward. I see, however, that for the program ending in 2013-14, the main estimates have gone from $5.1 billion to $3.9 billion. That's a decrease of nearly 23%.
Given how important the situation is—and you'll bring up the bridge, which we are very glad about, even though we'd like it to come sooner—there are still issues to keep in mind.
First, I would like you to tell me the reason for the decrease.
Second, I would like to know whether you have initiated talks with the Quebec minister regarding the renewal agreement.
