Thank you very much, Minister, for being here. I really do appreciate that you've taken the time.
I am from a place that consists of small towns and rural communities. When we think infrastructure at the federal level, the tendency is to focus on big cities. I know through the meetings with the big city mayors that has been a focus.
Are there any plans that you or the department has to ensure that small towns and rural communities aren't left behind and that their infrastructure needs are met?
