Mr. Speaker, mayors in every part of Canada are worried. The government promised them $13.6 billion for infrastructure projects. However, according to the parliamentary budget officer's report, only $4.6 billion have been approved.
How can these elected officials, who work hard every day, prepare their budgets without knowing whether the government will release the required funds?
Will the minister stop repeating the same list of projects that he has already approved and finally release the $9 billion that all our communities need?
