Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the question from the member because it gives me an opportunity to talk about some of the things the government is doing.
In a time of global economic uncertainty, we on this side of the House understand that it is vital to invest in infrastructure that will create jobs today, tomorrow and in to the future.
The member should listen to the mayor of Toronto who said:
That money is going to ensure thousands of jobs are created and maintained.... It's exactly the right time to build infrastructure because the contracts are going to come in for less because the economy is softening.
We are getting the job done.
