Mr. Speaker, I know the hon. minister wanted to avoid this conjuncture of words, but let me once again raise Whitby. As he knows, it is not a short commute from Whitby to Toronto because of gridlock and congestion, nor is it a short commute from Oshawa or Oakville, or Burnaby to Vancouver, or in many places around the country.
On page 178 of the budget, the minister lays out the Conservative infrastructure plan. In real terms, adjusted for inflation, the plan will cut infrastructure funding by $4.7 billion over the next four years. Is this what the minister calls “an infrastructure investment”?
