Mr. Speaker, I took particular note of the member's comments about infrastructure and the need for infrastructure renewal.
I also represent a riding from Ontario, and having some experience in the municipal sector prior to this, I know that only seven or eight cents out of every tax dollar that is collected is actually going to municipalities. Yet, at the same time, during the last number of decades, there has been more and more pressure on municipalities to provide and make those investments and to get that money through property taxes.
I wonder if the member could provide some input as to how this infrastructure renewal and our investment in infrastructure will benefit his community in St. Catharines.
