Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to go to where Mr. Fraser left off and Mr. Rayes was discussing with respect to funding. This is a question for all of you.
I come from the municipal sector in a previous life. I understand the challenges that we have trying to play catch-up with our infrastructure—waterways, water especially, but also roads and facilities and things of that nature—and that our asset management plans continuously squeeze our existing budgets.
The gas tax funding has always been used to play catch-up for those different pieces of infrastructure. Now we're talking about existing and incremental infrastructure like digital, for example. A funding source in that regard was mentioned earlier.
My question for you is twofold. Based on the $186 billion that we've announced—and we're going to be investing that money in that very infrastructure—I'd like to know if it would be appropriate to do one of two things. One is simply to enhance the gas tax fund—not only the amounts, of course, but also the other pieces of infrastructure it can attach itself to. Two is to have a dedicated fund. We could call it a community improvement fund, a community improvement growth fund, or whatever you want. It would be a separate dedicated fund that would attach itself to existing and incremental work.
