In the circumstances, we have to trust the federal government, because it is the only one with the statistics at present. We have no way of ascertaining what a commitment is and what a project actually underway is. I think that is where we want to have as much detail as possible.
My goodness, as one of our former premiers would say, "give us our share" so we can do our work as easily as possible. I can't say it too often: our interlocutor is the Government of Quebec. Let the federal government make agreements with the Government of Quebec, as fast as possible, so we can start our projects and just have one interlocutor to deal with. I think that is the solution, the formula, the recipe, that is the easiest for us to work and understand, the one that will also allow for the necessary adjustments and modulations, given that a number of our communities have needs.
I would like to come back to something said earlier. The infrastructure projects that a number of our small municipalities want to start up are future projects, while in large municipalities there is often an engineering, consultation and research department, that means there are always projects in the box. But we can understand that starting a process of defining an infrastructure project for a smaller community involves numerous steps. The project has to be defined and built, and documented before it is carried out. We have to find ways to ensure that these projects can also be completed within the time allowed.
