Thank you.

Q: Hi! I'm wondering if Canadian firms will be able to participate in contracts relating to some of the infrastructure spending happening in the US? If not, would we be better served exiting WSP Global for a US firm at this time? If so, who would you switch out for?

Q: As retired farmers we have owned Caterpillar, Cummins and John Deere in our industrial sector for many years. We prefer companies to which we can understand and relate.

Q: There will have to be a significant electrical buildout to facilitate a wide based conversion to EV. Everything from Power Production thru both new and upgraded Distribution to Charging Facilities and their components and other electrical elements I haven't thought of will benefit.
Who will be the biggest beneficiaries?
Will there be be clear winners in power production, presumably among renewable energy companies? What about their suppliers?
Will distribution equipment suppliers like GE and Siemens be rejuvenated? Who's best in class in their sector - one of them, Mitsubishi or?
In Electrical Distribution is there any clear leader or is it so decentralized that all the Fortis' and NEE's etc. benefit.
Will ATD.B and its competitors actually see growth in facilities and same store sales etc.
To what extent will energy storage be required and at what stage?

Thank you, Hugh

Q: Hello Peter,
I would appreciate if you could compare and contrast MTZ and J from an investment perspective today. In light of the the US govt going 'big' on stimulus and spending; and the prospect of shift to growth at a reasonable price, how would you rank MTZ, J, TT and RTX with the best first.
Thank you in advance for your valuable opinion.

Q: Great and timely article yesterday on this "Phoenix market". With that in mind, which companies in the US manufacturing, health care, energy and technology industries would you be comfortable putting money into today with a 10 plus year hold with a medium/high risk tolerance? Are there any US names that you think should be full positions in the majority of such portfolios? Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem appropriate.
