I think federal leadership is huge in this regard. We can't do it all alone. We all need to work together. The federal government needs to listen to the municipal government and the provincial government. All of us need to work together in those orders, because we're all in this together.
We all have different roles. I think the role that is important to remember with municipal government is we're the order of government that is closest to the people. We're the ones that take care of the water and the garbage and all of those things. If we're not able to support all of that, including urban forests, which is what we're talking about here, if we can't work on all of this together.... We simply don't have the money at the municipal end. We get, as you've heard, 8ยข on the dollar, which is what we use to operate what we have.
If we can work on all of this together, we can deal with all the environmental and the green issues in every area. As you said, it's water, air and again, the urban forest. It's everything we need as people to exist and to create jobs and to create the wealth of this entire country. We really do need to work together. It's vitally important. Cities and municipalities are the wealth of this country. That's where things happen. We are all in this together. You can't forget about us.
I think we need to find a way whereby we can work together on all of this. That's where the budgets are. If we're all in there and you're listening to what our needs are, they're your needs as well.
