Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, had you not mentioned it, we wouldn't have been able to tell you were feeling a bit under the weather. It is always a pleasure to see your great smile.
Minister, the maintenance, modernization and development of infrastructure for the well-being of all Canadian communities are at the heart of your department's mandate.
In part of my riding, work on the Highway 19 extension project was able to begin after our government invested $260.4 million.
Can you explain to us the importance of that kind of a project and the resulting benefits?
