Thank you.
I'd like to come back to Windsor's $5.7‑million bill. That bothers me because it was sent on March 16, 2022, and the government still hasn't reimbursed you for those costs, costs you incurred because you responded proactively. I worry this could discourage people from being proactive in future situations, to avoid having to foot a bill that they are never going to be reimbursed for, as happened to Windsor.
What response did you receive from the federal government? What would you recommend so that this doesn't happen again? Do you think a dedicated fund should be created? How can the system be improved so that cities don't wind up on the hook when they deal with a situation proactively, like you did?
