Yes, exactly. It makes sense.
The Government of Canada is currently having some trouble acknowledging its responsibility. I'm not saying that it isn't doing so. However, it's challenging to obtain some form of acknowledgement of responsibility. Once this responsibility has been acknowledged, in my opinion, the Government of Canada must cover the costs.
As I said, the municipality and the Government of Canada have reached a certain level of agreement on part of the matter. However, a number of issues remain. I spoke earlier about some tens of millions of dollars. This estimate seems right. This puts financial strain on the municipality. I said earlier that this creates a certain amount of uncertainty. We have budgets to balance. It's quite challenging for a city such as Saguenay to manage everything and to navigate, no pun intended, these troubled waters.
The Government of Canada must take responsibility. It must first acknowledge its responsibility, and then provide the funding needed to resolve the issue over the long term.
