Mr. Speaker, improving and creating new infrastructures helps to improve the quality of life in our communities.
As part of its commitment to maintaining Canada's economic growth and the quality of life of Canadians, the Government of Canada, in partnership with the provincial government, has renewed the Canada-Quebec Infrastructure Works Agreement.
More than 45 applications for funding under this program have been made in the Frontenac--Mégantic region. We certainly hope the government of Quebec will forward these applications to the federal government as soon as possible so that action can be taken this year.
