Madam Speaker, I call into question what the hon. member is saying to the House. More importantly, if the government has made a commitment, as it has with its very aggressive commitment to infrastructure of $186 billion over 10 years, at at a minimum the majority of the money that was committed over the years that we have been here should at least have gone to those infrastructure projects, to those municipalities and those projects designed to grow the economy.
As the Parliamentary Budget Officer has clearly stated, that money has not gone out the door. In fact, a lot of announcements have been made, but very little in the way of that money has actually been allocated to the projects that the Prime Minister and the government have spoken to.
It is important for the Auditor General to step in, find out exactly what has gone on and, if anything, help the government design a program for infrastructure that actually works.
