Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when we became aware of the opportunity to put in a proposal for the Strategic Infrastructure Fund, I then asked my department and other departments for information on what proposals we could put forward. I had been designated as the Minister responsible for this infrastructure opportunity.
The proposals we considered before our first visit to Ottawa were in the area of municipal infrastructure and transportation infrastructure. After hearing the federal ministers, the Premier and I then recommended back to Cabinet that we would put forward proposals on transportation infrastructure. So it was my recommendation and it was certainly agreed to by Cabinet. Thank you.
