Mr. Speaker, there are two parts in the answer to that excellent question.
I am working closely with all my cabinet colleagues to ensure that we use a gender based analysis lens to the decisions we make. That would include the decisions we make around spending on infrastructure.
However, I would like to point out that there will be direct benefits of that spending, as in wages and stimulation of sectors such as construction, plumbing and all kinds of trade sectors, as well as an indirect benefit.
We know that providing affordable housing is one of the most essential components to a woman's safety and ability to improve her economic standing. In fact, in my work in my previous life, affordable housing was the foundation from which families could start to grow and change, in an intergenerational way, the trajectory of their family's economic future.
