In my opinion, if you rely on the municipalities and they have access to those data, it should not be so complicated—with two territories and 10 provinces—to compile that information in a database in order to be able to monitor the situation. As a result, the government or the department responsible for infrastructure could have a longer-term perspective and a clearer idea of the time required to address the problem across Canada. Honestly, your answer really surprises me.
The infrastructure bank is a topic much debated in the House of Commons. We hear that the bank is going to have $35 billion for projects.
Are the projects related to drinking water and the replacement of water mains among the priorities of the Office of Infrastructure of Canada?
Could municipalities get funding for this through the infrastructure bank?
