Official Hansard

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague so very much for his tireless advocacy for eastern Ontario as part of our caucus. Through the build communities strong fund, our government is investing billions of dollars from coast to coast to coast to improve the lives of Canadians. Our announcement of more than $66 million to extend the water main in Tyendinaga means water security, support for housing and progress on our work to ensure everyone in this country has access to safe drinking water. This is the work our constituents across the country expect from our government, and we will keep delivering for the Great Lakes and every part of Canada.
