Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Don Valley West for his speech.
Like him, I am not so much worried as keenly interested in infrastructure development, which is way behind in Canada. He listed plenty of programs and figures in his speech, each more interesting than the last.
However, one question is bothering me: how can I be sure that the funds announced in the budget will actually be spent?
Over the past few years, we have seen a growing trend. Funds are announced but never spent, and then they are put back into general revenue and probably used for something else.
