Thank you, Madame Lagarde.
This issue of course is a long way away from the riding I represent in northwest British Columbia, but it seems like a very important one. I've listened to the testimony so far and it seems that there is some very important research being done on a wide range of solutions. At the same time, there's some infrastructure already in place that isn't being maintained.
I wonder if your committee.... Looking at this bigger work, which is much more long-term, and then looking at structures that are rusting and falling apart on your doorstep, do you feel that the best option is simply to repair and maintain the existing infrastructure?
