I already mentioned to another member in the House today about deferring investment into the state of infrastructure in Canadian communities to which the FCM is giving a failing grade. A very high percentage of Canadian infrastructure needs complete recapitalization and another great percentage requires a great deal of maintenance. If we do not invest now, we would only be putting that investment onto the shoulders and backs of generations to come. We simply cannot afford to do that.</p>",

Je sais donc moi aussi ce qui est en jeu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5353801\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9cision d'investir massivement et d\u00e8s maintenant dans les infrastructures canadiennes n'est pas seulement une bonne id\u00e9e \u2014 ce que les r\u00e9sultats obtenus confirment \u2014, c'est \u00e9galement un imp\u00e9ratif moral. J'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 parl\u00e9 \u00e0 un autre d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 la Chambre aujourd'hui des cons\u00e9quences de retarder les investissements dans l'entretien des infrastructures un peu partout au pays. La F\u00e9d\u00e9ration canadienne des municipalit\u00e9s ne leur accorde m\u00eame pas la note de passage. Un pourcentage tr\u00e8s \u00e9lev\u00e9 des infrastructures au Canada exigent une recapitalisation compl\u00e8te, et un autre fort pourcentage ont besoin de nombreux travaux d'entretien. Si nous n'investissons pas maintenant, nous ne ferions que pelleter le probl\u00e8me dans la cour des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations \u00e0 venir. Nous ne pouvons tout simplement pas nous le permettre.</p>"
