Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her important question and would like to draw the public's attention to certain facts.
First of all, we are all aware of the importance of the infrastructures program, both for the communities and for job creation. We also know that the applications must be submitted to the province of Quebec.
At this point in time only 176 such files have been submitted to the federal government, and of that number we have approved over 100. I am told that there is a backlog of 1,900 on Quebec government desks.
What is the Quebec government waiting for before it passes them on to us to help us create employment?
