Mr. Speaker, certainly the hon. member is well aware of the infrastructure funding provided in our budget.
We are also making available up to $2 billion over two years in direct low-cost loans to municipalities to help finance improvements related to housing infrastructure and such things as sewers, water lines and other regeneration projects in our neighbourhoods. Municipalities will have access to this significant new funding through provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure initiatives.
We are doing a lot to provide for municipal infrastructure in terms of providing both funding and loans to municipalities to ensure that they have the resources to deal with the infrastructure challenges they are facing. Because of the explosive growth we have had in my riding, we certainly face many of these challenges. It is an honour to say that we will be helping those municipalities with those needs.
