Madam Speaker, I do not know where to begin. First, the communities in my riding are happy to get government assistance in the infrastructure projects they need. There was some money announced for my riding and people were happy to hear that. However, it was through the normal way government does business, through the government providing monies that it could get with low interest rates if it needed to borrow. It has nothing to do with a Canada infrastructure bank that is privately managed.
\nAlthough one can argue that the infrastructure bank is part of the budget, the NDP wants to take this out of the budget because it is a very different part of it, something brand new that we should look at carefully. It also will not get that careful study in a couple of hours in committee. It needs to be taken out of the budget bill and studied separately so Canadians can make their concerns known and so we can hear the advantages and disadvantages and make a good, intelligent decision. That is why we want it taken out of the bill and done separately.

D\u2019abord, les communaut\u00e9s dans ma circonscription sont heureuses d\u2019obtenir l\u2019aide du gouvernement pour les projets d\u2019infrastructure dont elles ont besoin. Des sommes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 annonc\u00e9es pour ma circonscription, et les gens \u00e9taient heureux d\u2019apprendre cela. Toutefois, cela s\u2019est fait selon la fa\u00e7on habituelle du gouvernement de faire des affaires, \u00e0 savoir en affectant des sommes qu\u2019il pouvait obtenir \u00e0 des taux d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat faibles s\u2019il devait emprunter. Cela n\u2019a rien \u00e0 voir avec une banque de l\u2019infrastructure du Canada g\u00e9r\u00e9e par le secteur priv\u00e9.
\nBien que l\u2019on puisse faire valoir que la Banque de l\u2019infrastructure fait partie du budget, le NPD veut la retirer du budget parce qu\u2019elle repr\u00e9sente une mesure tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rente, une toute nouvelle mesure que nous devrions examiner attentivement. De plus, quelques heures au comit\u00e9 ne suffiront pas \u00e0 en faire une \u00e9tude approfondie. Cet \u00e9l\u00e9ment doit \u00eatre retir\u00e9 du projet de loi budg\u00e9taire et \u00e9tudi\u00e9 s\u00e9par\u00e9ment afin que les Canadiens puissent communiquer leurs pr\u00e9occupations, entendre les avantages et les inconv\u00e9nients, et que nous puissions prendre une d\u00e9cision \u00e9clair\u00e9e et intelligente \u00e0 ce sujet. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous voulons que cet \u00e9l\u00e9ment soit retir\u00e9 du projet de loi et trait\u00e9 s\u00e9par\u00e9ment.
