Thank you very much for being here today.
I'd like to begin, like Mr. Hardie, by expressing my profound respect for the PBO. Having worked with an access to information organization at one point in time, I think the work you do is a key pillar to an effective democracy.
There is a narrative that comes, rightly or wrongly, out of your report. When I speak to people in my community they might fear that although the federal government is making investments in infrastructure, the job returns may not be there.
Personally, I think in my community there is a different experience from the potential narrative that the report creates. So just for the sake of clarity for the public, the report deals expressly with phase-one infrastructure, not with other projects like fisheries and oceans and small craft harbours, or post-secondary education infrastructure. Is that correct?
