Mr. Speaker, I quote:
The Canada-Ontario infrastructure works program has been an overwhelming success both locally in Wilmot as well as in the region of Waterloo. It has created numerous jobs and made a significant contribution to the local economy.
I strongly urge you to consider extending this very valuable program. There are still a number of projects which need to be completed. The Canada-Ontario infrastructure works program extended would provide the vehicle to complete these projects and provide much needed additional jobs.
These are the words of the mayor of Wilmot township, his worship Lynn Myers. His sentiments are shared by all the municipal leaders in my community and is indicative of the success of the infrastructure program.
The Canadian infrastructure program is an investment in the future of Canada. I urge the government to consider the extension of this program.
