Mr. Speaker, when we look at infrastructure announcements and plans, there can be a fair amount of politics involved. I liked how the member, during his speech, underlined not only the role of the opposition in holding the government to account but also the role of the Auditor General, the non-partisan office that is so very good at cleaning through the political fog and giving Canadians the pure, unvarnished truth.
There are communities in my riding, and one in particular, that desperately need infrastructure investments to deal with the effects of climate change, the so-called green infrastructure. The Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities, the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities know, as I do, that nothing but good can come from getting this information from the Auditor General.
I would invite my colleague to expand a little more on how important it is to get the unvarnished truth so that we know effectively what we are dealing with and how we can add more efficiencies and improvements to the whole system overall.
