I understand that there have been various project numbers thrown around—2,000, 5,000, or whatever. This is not a simple program constructed to make these stimulus dollars flow. There are matching dollars coming from the province, the federal government, and the municipalities.
We sometimes hear members of various groups talking about money flying out the door at breakneck speed. Maybe you could bring some clarification to committee members who might believe this. It is my understanding that money doesn't flow until a project actually exists. There is a certain structure for projects that need money to get started. For the most part, we are talking about communities being reimbursed for projects once the project is complete.
Is that your understanding, Mr. Page?
