I think most of us would agree with that. You went on to say that it's not, however, just transportation infrastructure, that there are other types of infrastructure as well, such as recreational infrastructure, and governments federally, provincially, and municipally have to prioritize, and I appreciate that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860550\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if you've done any modelling on infrastructure projects in recreation. One thing I've found in rural Canada is that you have to have enough base recreation ability to attract younger professionals\u2014doctors, lawyers, engineers\u2014who quite frankly will go somewhere else in the country if you don't have that base. Have you done any modelling on that, and do you have anything to add to that?</p>",

Je pense que la plupart d'entre nous sommes d'accord avec vous. Vous avez ajout\u00e9 qu'il ne s'agissait pas uniquement des infrastructures de transport, mais aussi d'autres types d'infrastructures, comme les infrastructures de loisir, et que les gouvernements f\u00e9d\u00e9ral et provinciaux ainsi que les administrations municipales devaient \u00e9tablir des priorit\u00e9s. J'en conviens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860550\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demandais si vous aviez \u00e9tabli des mod\u00e8les relativement \u00e0 des projets d'infrastructures de loisir. Ce que j'ai remarqu\u00e9 notamment dans les r\u00e9gions rurales du Canada, c'est qu'il n'y a pas suffisamment de loisirs pour attirer les jeunes professionnels \u2014 les m\u00e9decins, les avocats, les ing\u00e9nieurs \u2014 qui d\u00e9cideront d'aller ailleurs si vous ne pouvez pas leur offrir ce dont ils ont besoin. Avez-vous fait une telle mod\u00e9lisation et avez-vous quelque chose \u00e0 ajouter \u00e0 cela?</p>"
