You bet. I am making that announcement here in front of everybody in Canada.
The infrastructure program was a pronounced failure in a constituency at home. What did the municipality do for infrastructure in my own constituency? It bought a grader, a Yankee-built grader. It shipped it home by a U.S. trucker. It paid for it with borrowed dollars. It produced one job, just one job. The infrastructure program in this municipality produced one job. Is that an advantage? That is an advantage for whom? It is an advantage for a U.S. manufacturer with a grader. The infrastructure program is an abject failure.
This bill will simply raise the standard in Canada. Will it solve all the problems in Canada? It will not. If this bill were coming from the other side of the House, there would be effusive praise for such a bill. Since it is not, I am convinced it will not gain support.
I ask members opposite, how can they argue against cleaner water in Canada? How can they argue with that?
