Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech. He talked a lot about his region and about the importance of funding infrastructure projects.
The question I wanted to ask him is about the way money is transferred. Like Quebec, Ottawa is growing increasingly infatuated with the idea that funding public-private partnership projects serves the public interest. However, that is not the case. We know that these public-private partnerships waste money.
Here is the question I want to ask my colleague. With regard to funding infrastructure projects, whether in Quebec, Ottawa or the municipalities, would he agree that the investment should be primarily public, to ensure that the interests of the general public are represented?
