Mr. Speaker, there is a record historic allowance for infrastructure in the budget in the amount of $33 billion to help rebuild Canada. It is in the great tradition of national projects by Canadian pioneers. There is money for infrastructure for the environment to help build an east-west hydroelectric grid in Canada. These are great national projects requiring large sums of money committed over a long period of time. That has been done to the tune of $33 billion.
In the House of Commons on March 20th, 2007. See this statement in context.
