Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think we have to stay with broad-based. I think it's important that we do. Then, within the broad-based program, we have to start to detail it a bit more, whether you get into transit or whether you get into rural infrastructure or other infrastructure.
We've had a very good look at what the Building Canada fund did and the good things that came out of it. As I said earlier, some great things have come out of it. I think we have to look at needs that have to be addressed. If you look at the province of Saskatchewan in terms of the Building Canada fund, for the rural Saskatchewan component--rural is what I represent, which is roads and bridges in rural municipalities--we got 4% of the fund allocation. The reason was that....
I'm not saying anything negative about the plan. I have communities that.... My own community is a good example. If we hadn't had a water project, the community would be in dire straits.
We can work on our roads and bridges at a level that we have to, but I think we have an opportune time here, as we move forward into 2014, to look at the program design, to look within the parameters of the fund, and say, “Okay, what can we do to make this a little bit better?”
We're not asking for the world. We're just asking for something.
