Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Minister, when you said there's been no policy change, as you did in your opening remarks, I found that hard to believe, because yesterday Global News reported—and let me read the headline—that “Guilbeault's road funding remarks send staff scrambling, emails show.” This was the result of an information access request that Global News made, to which it got two days' worth of emails from your department, Infrastructure Canada.
To quote some of what was revealed in those emails, there was “'quite the blowback'”, and we need to urgently find out what roads were funded this year and last year and give some examples. There was some scrambling to cover up.
Maybe you can comment on how that seems to be at odds with your comment that the policy has not changed.
