First of all, as far as I'm concerned, there are no villains in the room. You've all made significant investments, and we're grateful for that, but we all want to do better.
To your specific point, the investing in Canada plan was basically built on top of the building Canada plan. To the credit of the current government, they continued that program, but even in its initial incarnation, it was very much back-end loaded. It started off slowly and went up the ramp. Now we have a secondary program on top of it.
If we can use some of that commitment.... That's done. That program is in place. If the finance minister, or whoever you need to speak to in cabinet, can reallocate some of the funds that are flagged for the latter half of the program and move them into the current years of the program, it might balance out some of the spikes and valleys and make up for some of the lost ground on the current programs.
