I'll leave it to them.

In 2013, we had some pretty serious flooding in my riding, and in a lot of Toronto, that was clearly the result of very inadequate infrastructure. The drain pipes just aren't big enough to handle the kinds of storms that are now coming with climate change.

Has Infrastructure Canada asked the municipalities to evaluate what they would do if the 100-year storm comes every 10 years, and what they will need in terms of infrastructure to expand the capacity of the drainage systems?
