Thank you, Minister and officials, for being here this morning.

I want to start from an infrastructure perspective and talk about the new building Canada plan. There are a number of important pillars under the plan: the community infrastructure fund, which includes the gas tax fund, and the new building Canada fund, which includes a provincial and territorial component and a national component.

I want to start with the gas tax fund. It's such an important pillar of the overall plan.

Minister, could you highlight the enhancements that have been made specifically to the gas tax fund and the increased flexibility that is available for municipalities under that particular component?
