We are dealing with the perennial problem of jurisdiction. For infrastructure programs, the municipalities are the project managers. Because of the special relationship between municipalities in Quebec and the Government of Quebec in relation to this program, all of the necessary parameters had to be agreed on with the various levels of government, and unfortunately this caused some excessive delay in signing the agreement.
Some of the components we are dealing with should perhaps be used for agreeing on the approach. I am thinking of the entire "recreation" component, for which the governments in Quebec City and Ottawa have agreed on a framework agreement under which projects will be submitted, rather than always having to bring in various levels, where one party's approval does not always match another party's, so projects are delayed. We will therefore have to sign a framework agreement with the Government of Quebec, under which the municipality could deal directly with one interlocutor, who would give the green light that is needed to start up projects. We have to look for easy solutions.
