I think it is important that there also be research done on the impacts of climate change, which is affecting municipalities, and everybody, without our knowing what all the impacts are. There should also be research on what's happening with our urban forests and the emerald ash borer. We should have Canadian-based research that relates to our environment. We need those kinds of things.
We need to build municipal capacity. I am proud to say that the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has been working very hard on this matter. The programs and projects we have are there to build capacity within municipalities. However, building this capacity is not just a municipal concern. Other orders of government, including the federal government, need to build that capacity. A lot can be done through research and through working with municipal governments on pilot projects.
