Mr. Speaker, finally, a good question. I thank the member for his tremendous support of the Canadian Forces.
In line with the Canada first defence strategy, we are improving the work and housing environments by improving base infrastructure and putting people to work. This year we have announced almost $2 billion in construction projects. This illustrates our government's ongoing commitment to the Canadian Forces and solid contribution to Canada's economic well-being.
Here is a partial list of our infrastructure spending: $334 million at Trenton; $135 million at Cold Lake; $109 million in Montreal, Valcartier and Bagotville; $266 million for Esquimalt; and $66 million for 14 Wing Greenwood.
We are getting the job done for the Canadian Forces and Canada.
