Thank you.
Since the beginning of the process to renew the Building Canada plan, we have held 13 round tables all across the country. More than 700 partners, stakeholders, have been involved in the process for renewal. In any region we have visited, at all of these meetings, la Fédération canadienne des municipalités has been present, and they were very happy with what we had announced for the new Building Canada plan.
We held meetings with the private sector because it was important for us to hear their ideas, or their point of view, on the new Building Canada plan. These consultations have been very successful, and since the announcement of the new Building Canada plan in the last budget, all of these stakeholders have been happy and proud of what we have done together. We will continue to work with them. They are still involved with us. We don't think that in Ottawa we have all the solutions for what is good for the citizens of a city or a region of this country. We respect the jurisdictions, and that's the way we want to continue to work.
