Madam Speaker, to the member from Timmins: I know that he is an expert in mining, and he has a long history in that industry. But I also know that he is a former mayor of Timmins.

My question to the minister: We know how important infrastructure is in the municipalities and making sure that we have the ability to continue to grow our municipalities. So this government has not made the “out of sight, out of mind” mistake that the previous Liberal government did. So, through you Speaker, I ask the minister to please explain why our government has decided to invest more to build the infrastructure needed to construct new homes in all municipalities across the province.
