Thank you very much.
I'll be sharing my time with one of my colleagues, Mr. Badawey.
I want to touch on some of the issues you raised in your introductory remarks and perhaps follow up on the line of questioning Ms. Watts launched into with respect to the impact of infrastructure funding on smaller communities.
I'm an Atlantic Canadian. My riding consists largely of small towns and rural communities. I was hoping that you could give us some background on how the infrastructure bank might apply to smaller communities or, more generally, on how the use of the infrastructure bank in the bigger cities would free up resources that could then apply to smaller communities like mine on needs like water, waste water, public transit, and recreational or social infrastructure and the like.
