Thank you very much. That's a very good question.
As I mentioned at the outset, despite the fiscal challenges the country is facing and the fact that it may be more difficult to dedicate the kinds of funds necessary for infrastructure, making those investments is absolutely critical. We have demonstrated evidence that infrastructure investment truly does drive economic growth. It creates jobs. It makes communities more competitive. Overall, Canada will be globally competitive and play on the world stage.
It is a leader now on infrastructure investment in terms of the amount and nature of the investment and the models that are used. As I mentioned earlier, we are the envy of many countries around the world that are faced with exactly the same kinds of issues.
I am a strong proponent of continuing well-targeted investment in infrastructure in order to get the economic outputs we are looking for. I would be less a fan of shovel-ready and focus on shovel-smart. From my perspective, you want to invest in infrastructure that is in fact going to be able to drive true economic outcomes.
