Thank you so much for having me and asking me to join this conversation. I'm very happy to spare time to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability.
I am very proud of my time as minister of infrastructure and that we were able to set up the first ministry ever, in the history of this country, that focused solely on building infrastructure throughout the country. It was the first time we had a stand-alone federal ministry that worked very closely with the provinces, the municipalities, the private sector, the unions and the non-profit sector to really understand the needs of the community, focusing on and making sure that infrastructure needs were being met and that the federal government was a true partner in building stronger communities.
I'm very proud of the time I spent as the minister of infrastructure. We did some good work during those times, and we also wanted to mobilize the private sector to build more infrastructure that otherwise would not have been possible to be built solely by the public sector or the private sector. That was kind of the idea behind the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
I don't want to take all the five minutes because other speakers have, I'm pretty sure, other things to add. I look forward to this conversation.
