As a new member of Parliament, I feel very privileged that I can ask you some questions and get some specific answers, so thank you for being here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1293317\" data-originallang=\"en\">I represent the riding of Portage\u2014Lisgar. It's a riding located in southern Manitoba. I also really appreciate the support of the people in Portage\u2014Lisgar. I want to make that clear. They're a very hard-working group of people who seem to tackle problems head-on. I've been touring the riding over the past few months. It's a riding made up of numerous municipalities and small towns. I've had an opportunity to speak with many of the mayors, the reeves, and the councillors, and I find that these are people who work full time, they run businesses, they have jobs, maybe they run farms, and then in their off time they're helping their municipalities to succeed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1293318\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can you expand and let me know how you've been working together with municipalities and provinces in coming to some of the decisions regarding the funding for infrastructure for municipalities?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1293315\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci beaucoup, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1293316\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je veux en profiter pour remercier les ministres Merrifield et Baird d'\u00eatre venus nous rencontrer. En tant que d\u00e9put\u00e9 nouvellement \u00e9lue, je me sens tr\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9e de pouvoir vous poser des questions et d'obtenir des r\u00e9ponses pr\u00e9cises. Donc, merci d'\u00eatre venus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1293317\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je repr\u00e9sente la circonscription de Portage\u2014Lisgar, qui est situ\u00e9e dans le sud du Manitoba. Je suis fi\u00e8re de l'appui que m'accordent les \u00e9lecteurs de Portage\u2014Lisgar. Je tiens \u00e0 le pr\u00e9ciser. Ce sont des gens travailleurs qui s'attaquent aux probl\u00e8mes de front. J'ai fait le tour de la circonscription au cours des derniers mois. On y trouve de nombreuses municipalit\u00e9s et petites localit\u00e9s. J'ai eu l'occasion de m'entretenir avec beaucoup de maires, pr\u00e9fets et conseillers. Ce sont des personnes qui occupent un emploi \u00e0 temps plein, qui dirigent des entreprises, qui travaillent, qui exploitent peut-\u00eatre des fermes et qui, pendant leur temps libre, aident leurs municipalit\u00e9s \u00e0 mener \u00e0 bien des projets.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1293318\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pouvez-vous m'expliquer comment vous \u00eates arriv\u00e9s \u00e0 vous entendre avec les municipalit\u00e9s et les provinces pour ce qui est du financement de certains projets d'infrastructure municipaux? </p>"
