What kind of infrastructure projects are you most in favour of?
We've heard from small municipalities talking about waste water. They're in a desperate situation. They were told by the federal government that there are some environmental standards that they have to meet. As a result they have to upgrade their sewage treatment programs. In this budget there was no special pocket for them and they're worried that their funding will get crowded out by big cities, whereas the big cities are saying their bridges are crumbling and that they need a lot of funding and public transit. Then, of course, there is the social infrastructure.
So what kind of infrastructure projects are you most concerned with? I see that your organization represents, among others, those in the food and service sector. The restaurant association doesn't apply for infrastructure funding. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business also doesn't necessarily apply for infrastructure funding. The group that would be mostly connected with infrastructure funding, which is what we're talking about, is the independent contractors. I'm not as familiar with them. Do they do more of the transit infrastructure projects or are they more involved in the waste water projects, or is it paving roads or fixing bridges? What kind of projects are the organizations you represent most concerned about?
I was trying to find it in here and I couldn't quite see it.
