Thank you very much for inquiring about the green municipal fund.
As members may be aware, there has been a strong partnership between the Government of Canada and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities on the administration of the fund for a number of years, and the transfer you're seeing in our current estimates represents a top-up to the already sizable commitments that have been made by previous governments.
From a reporting perspective, as with all grants and contributions, there are accountability provisions in our funding agreement with the FCM that require them, first of all, to produce an annual plan, which is also reported upon in our departmental report on plans and priorities, as well as an annual plan at the end of the year reporting on the outcomes and the usage of the funds, with an audited financial statement. There is, then, full accountability for the funds that are being administered via FCM.
