Thank you, Minister.
I have a further question, and this may be a far more difficult one. We obviously want to accomplish things with this heavy investment, and I asked you a little earlier about ways that we could see these investments produce results that help build the economy, etc. When the Prime Minister spoke in Edmonton almost a year ago at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities—he wasn't Prime Minister yet, but he was working on it—you didn't have to have a picture of the mayors to see them nod when he talked about predictable funding.
Predictable funding can extend not just beyond the municipalities as they go through their procurement, but the benefits extend to the people they do business with. For instance, in my former life in metro Vancouver's transportation authority, we were often sensitive to the sudden influx of orders that we would place with Nova Bus or New Flyer, or with a shipyard to build a new SeaBus.
One of the things that could come from predictable funding is predictable orders. I'm wondering if there's been some discussion that would see that kind of ripple effect go through to our manufacturing sector.
