Thank you, Madam Chair.
First of all, on infrastructure, what scrutiny is given to projects when municipalities offer their request?
I have a specific reason for asking that. It was controversial in my case, where $30 million of gas tax money was given to renovate city hall. It came under—I have to look it up, because it was back in 2009—“community energy systems”. The infrastructure deficit of the city now approaches $200 million a year. There are roads and bridges and all kinds of things that need to be fixed.
Does the application get a rubber stamp when it comes to the department for approval? How does that work?
