"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, there is some strategy, some rationale to my comments on the infrastructure program. We do have a stand. Reform supports the development of human infrastructure, supporting federal government activities that work toward the development of job skills, especially skills that are transferable to a variety of job positions.</p>\n<p>Second, Reform supports the development of physical capital, maintaining airports, maintaining our sea ports and roads that enhance our economy for years to come and enhance our economic competitiveness in the world today.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, it seems that the Liberal stand does not develop human capital. The skills developed are strictly for construction, general labour skills. The vast majority of jobs are short term basis. The minister cannot deny that. Skills developed are not transferable to other areas, just other construction projects.</p>\n<p>It does not develop physical capital. For example, in the Liberal policy on infrastructure in Ontario less than half, 41.3 per cent of the money, is going toward roads; 23.3 per cent for sewers; 47 per cent going to non-residential projects like the ones I outlined in my speech.</p>",
