Mr. Speaker, fully two-thirds of the infrastructure program are traditionally roads, sewers and sidewalks and these are projects that have a long term payback in our communities in terms of attracting additional investment dollars and improving the quality of life. We also are helping to fund information highway projects.
Some $27 million of infrastructure money is going into high technology infrastructure mainly in our school systems in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. It is not only helping in terms of better communications but it is helping to improve the education system to help prepare our young people for the future.
