Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Congratulations, sir, on your new appointment as Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. I am very pleased to see you here among us.

Throughout the summer, I was approached by municipalities in my riding and from all over Quebec. I received copies of resolutions from municipalities regarding the Canada Community Building Fund, which used to be the Gas Tax Fund. You might know where I'm going with this. This fund expires in 2023. It is now October, it will soon be 2024, and we still don't know if there will be any money for Quebec municipalities in 2024 under the Canada Community Building Fund.

Can you assure us that there will be money for our municipalities next year under this fund?
