Madam Speaker, I would like to commend my colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue for his excellent speech.
He raised a list of concerns about infrastructure. There is a long list of needs. Unfortunately, we are always seeing delays, and Quebec has to scramble to get its fair share. That is basically what he said in his speech.
There is a great need to bring high-speed Internet to the regions. This is true in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Joliette and most other regions of Quebec. It is taking longer for Quebec to implement its connectivity program because of spending delays, criteria that must be met and the fact that the province has to negotiate with Ottawa and elbow its way to the table.
Does my colleague believe that the simplest and most effective solution would be to transfer a lump sum to reduce delays, yes or no?
