Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. I'm happy to be back here again as part of this fishing expedition motion.
Thanks, Minister, for being here.
I'm the member of Parliament for Halifax. Before that, I was the director of environment and climate change for the City of Halifax, which entered into an agreement to purchase 75% of its energy requirements through this wind development project, should it happen.
I'm a huge fan of the Canada Infrastructure Bank, because it is filling a gap, is being innovative and is being professional and diligent in making projects happen that otherwise wouldn't. It leverages private capital alongside public dollars. I'm really thrilled that this project is happening.
I wonder if you could just speak a little to the importance of the model of the Canada Infrastructure Bank in helping us address what we're facing as a nation today to scale up, to scale big and to build our country strong.
Thank you.
