Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we are so proud to be delivering on our infrastructure commitments. We promised Canadians we would double our infrastructure investments and we are in fact almost tripling our those investments. We understand that Canadian communities have been denied the opportuni

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we held a wide range of consultations leading up to the introduction of the legislation.

Public Transit  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Mississauga East—Cooksville for his hard work. On May 5, our government announced more than $58 million for 57 public transit projects, alongside with the Government of Ontario and the City of Mississauga. These investments will a

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, we see that every Canadian municipality has the potential to benefit from the bank, regardless of where the bank is located. We will support projects that are priorities of local communities, whether it is Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, or whichever city needs

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, unlike the previous government, our goal is to support our municipal and provincial entities, to support the infrastructure that they need. We have put forward an ambitious plan of more than $180 billion that we will invest. We also feel that we can do more for munic
