Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Oak Ridges for his participation in this debate and for his contribution to the thought process for the budget 2000.
I know the hon. member has been very much involved in municipal affairs. I also know that he has taken an active interest in an infrastructure program. In the throne speech, there was mention that the government intends to move on an infrastructure program. There have been representations by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to proceed with an infrastructure program. It talks about social infrastructure as well as physical infrastructure.
I wonder if the hon. member could comment on what he would like to see if the government proceeds with an infrastructure program.
