Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As is the usual case, the comments from the Standing Committee on Finance come before preamble to the motions. The first has to deal with the transportation strategy. Transportation infrastructure Canada historically has been a joint federal provincial effort to enable people to move, be it east and west, or north and south. For example, the Queen Elizabeth Way was not paid for by Ontario, and the cost of the Newfoundland ferries is not borne solely by Newfoundland. The federal government also has a large role to play in the Northwest Territories transportation strategy. However, discussions at the political level need to be revitalized.
