Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments by the member across the way, but I do not necessarily agree with all of them.
There is a great deal for mayors, reeves and all Canadians to be happy about with respect to this budget. We see an ongoing commitment toward infrastructure. For example, just the other day an announcement was made of around 200 proposed projects just in the province of Ontario alone. Substantial projects are taking place in many different municipalities.
The feedback I am receiving has been overwhelmingly positive on this government's decision to invest in Canada's infrastructure.
Would the member not acknowledge that investment in virtually every region of our country is being well received for the simple reason that, generally speaking, Canadians understand and appreciate the importance of our infrastructure?
