Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks very much, Minister, for joining us today, coming back to transport committee and giving us a chance to learn more about this work.
We know that building Canada requires all of us to step into bold ideas about how we support and leverage good growth. We're seeing projects like this in the Mersey River initiative, supported through the CIB, that bring together infrastructure financing and long-term economic development. This signals to Canadians a more coordinated approach to building not just individual projects but systems that really unlock growth.
For me, what's exciting about this is that we are reinvesting public dollars in a way that allows us to keep building to take on bigger and more ambitious nation-building projects.
Minister, could you walk us through how projects like this align with the government's broader approach to building big, especially when it comes to coordinating transportation, housing and economic development across regions?
