There's been no response. The point I try to raise is that here we are, two years after an announcement, and there is an application process from which you still haven't even heard back and a shovel that has not gone in the ground. Here we are in the fall, and it likely wouldn't even be until next year at this point, after the funding has been announced.... I'd say the turnaround time to actually get projects would probably be a huge concern.
The witnesses before talked about inflation, but construction inflation. Can you talk about the impact of that on your municipal budget?
We have the national inflation number that takes in a wide variety of costs, but costs for municipalities, public works projects and so forth, would you talk about the impact of...? You probably weren't at the presentation before, but it was about a 30% increase.
What numbers are you seeing in terms of having to stretch dollars even further? Are you cutting projects you're supposed to do or raising municipal taxes? What kind of situation are you in?
