Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the hon. member, who is a fellow former municipal councillor.
As we have seen across Canada, municipalities have been facing challenges for infrastructure investments for their own infrastructure and facilities. The budget itself includes $5.1 billion for infrastructure funding that we will be implementing across the board to help municipalities upgrade and increase the energy efficiency and modernization of these facilities.
As my colleague knows, a frequent challenge of our municipalities is maintaining the billions in infrastructure that we already have.
