Mr. Speaker, it is very simple. Support is provided as projects are approved. As municipalities commence work, expenses are incurred and those receipts are submitted. It is a very simple and straightforward process.
As I mentioned, the Conservative government's support for public infrastructure has never been stronger. Since 2006, our government has dramatically increased the average annual federal funding for thousands of provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure projects across the country. We are building on these historic investments, with $75 billion over 10 years, including the $53 billion new building Canada plan. Canadian municipalities have unprecedented ways in which they can put this federal funding to work in their communities.
I might also add that our investments in public infrastructure under our Conservative government are three times greater than the previous Liberal government.
Our government is committed to creating jobs, promoting growth and building strong, prosperous communities across the country.
