Mr. Speaker, I have good news for the House.
In the less than two years since we launched this program we have already allocated 95 per cent of the original $6 billion that the three levels of government put into this program. These over 11,000 projects have put more than 100,000 Canadians back to work. In the member's constituency, some 22 projects have put some 1,000 people back to work.
To answer specifically the question of the member, we are currently evaluating the program to determine where we go from here. This program has been very successful. It has been successful also in bringing three levels of government together which proves that governments can work in partnership quite successfully.
