Thank you very much.
Mayor Holmes, everybody's picking on you, but we really understand the importance of local decision-making. One of the frustrations I have in my city, in Brampton—it's one of the fastest-growing cities in the province of Ontario—is that our council is very dysfunctional. We can't get infrastructure money to the City of Brampton because the City of Brampton cannot get projects approved at the council level. It goes both ways when we say that, yes, we want to encourage local decision-making, but if, like in my example, the local government doesn't have its act together, the citizens of that city suffer.
I couldn't agree with you more that the funding allocation form should be more relaxed, and Minister Sohi has a great job of that. He held a town hall in our city just a few weeks ago, and he really focused on the fact that we're here to work and partner with cities.
What are you guys doing in Alberta to make sure your cities are taking advantage of the infrastructure funding?
In prior years, as well, the City of Brampton never applied, and then they complained.
