Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would quickly like to come back to the eligibility criteria for the national trade corridors fund.
The $2 billion figure may seem impressive, but don't forget that it is spread out over 11 years. Given the needs, we once again see that choices must be be made and that they are certainly not always easy to make.
For example, how to explain that a corporation as profitable as CN is receiving millions of dollars, while, according to the auditor general, infrastructure funding in the north is clearly inadequate?
Do you have any figures or a study showing the extent of infrastructural needs in the north?
