So I gather that you are even refusing to let us talk about it, despite the fact that we had an agreement for me to send you this motion yesterday. The agreements that we come to therefore have little significant value. That is what I have just gathered. Thank you very much.
Madam Minister, what I tried to find out just now is important.
We are talking about a lot of money. We are talking about $188 billion of federal investment in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the provinces have not followed the lead. The provinces do not have the money that is supposed to be used for creating jobs and moving the country’s economy forward. Unfortunately, we have not seen it on the ground because the provinces have not followed the lead.
That is why, just now, I was criticizing the haphazard way the plan was put in place from the outset.
Are you able to give us precise figures? To what extent have the provinces reduced their investment so much that the feds are occupying a place that was previously taken?
