Mr. Speaker, there have been great partnerships. We have put partisan politics aside with every provincial government and every territory.
We particularly worked well with the municipalities. The member opposite quotes the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Let us look at what Basil Stewart, the president of FCM, said:
[T]hings have worked out well. And they've worked out well in other parts of the country as well. We have no complaints with the way things are going.
We believe that municipalities are up to the challenge of building infrastructure. We do not believe that municipalities need to be micromanaged as they have in the past. We are proud of our partnership. Things are happening in every part of this country and we are awfully proud of it.
