Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the hon. member on his speech. I would like to once again try to put some logic into this infrastructure program.
The infrastructure program is supposed to have $2 billion coming from the federal government, $2 billion from provincial and $2 billion from municipal. Municipalities will charge residential tax and the provincial probably an income surtax and so on.
I wonder if the hon. member could enlighten us as to how long these infrastructure jobs might last, how he sees the logic in spending $6 billion for that duration of those jobs and how will it be recovered.
