It would behoove this committee to quickly take up the space. Otherwise, I think there'll be criticism that, respectfully, where this used to be in environment, which carried a certain message, now it's in transport. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162853\" data-originallang=\"en\">The more quickly we get into infrastructure as a subject matter and not allow ourselves to be too caught in the inertia of the fact that the committee was a transport committee for a long time and it's going to be very difficult to suddenly be something other than that. I think it's going to be critically important to make the point that the infrastructure piece of this isn't secondary, but actually this is the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"162851\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162852\" data-originallang=\"en\">De plus, je pense que le ministre d'\u00c9tat de l'infrastructure et des collectivit\u00e9s \u00e9changeait avec le Parlement par le Comit\u00e9 de l'environnement avant. Il appartient \u00e0 ce comit\u00e9 de prendre rapidement cet espace. Autrement, je crois qu'il y aura des critiques, et je le dis avec le plus grand respect, parce qu'alors que ce sujet \u00e9tait trait\u00e9 au Comit\u00e9 de l'environnement, ce qui portait un certain message, il l'est maintenant au Comit\u00e9 des transports.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"162853\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il faut au plus vite que nous abordions le sujet de l'infrastructure et que nous \u00e9vitions de sombrer dans l'inertie parce que ce comit\u00e9 a longtemps \u00e9t\u00e9 un comit\u00e9 des transports et qu'il sera tr\u00e8s difficile qu'il devienne soudainement autre chose. Je pense qu'il sera crucial de montrer que l'\u00e9l\u00e9ment infrastructure n'est pas secondaire, puisqu'il s'agit maintenant du Comit\u00e9 permanent des transports, de l'infrastructure et des collectivit\u00e9s.</p>"
