Thank you, Madam Chair.
My thanks to the minister for being here with us today.
Since six minutes pass by quickly, I will start right away.
My first question came to me after reading the parliamentary budget officer’s latest report. In the report, there’s a graph showing the distribution of investments in infrastructure. Since we’re dealing with investments in infrastructure, it is not unreasonable to imagine that there should be a relationship between infrastructure and the percentage or density of the population in each of the provinces and territories. However, when I look at the numbers, Quebec, which has more than 8 million people, receives 12% of the investments, that is 1% more than Alberta, which has 4 million people, and 5% less than British Columbia, which has about 5 million people. Those are rounded numbers.
How do you explain those disparities?
