No. The government and the House of Commons supported the budget implementation bill and have said that the stimulus fund would end at the end of March 2011.
The Building Canada Fund is much more flexible, but I have not heard that a single dollar was sent late to the municipalities. If the municipalities have specific projects and need to receive their money, we would be pleased to ensure that they get their cheque.
That is something that was discussed during a meeting with the Fédération Québécoise des Municipalités, the premier, Denis Lebel and myself. We listened to their concerns and their opinion and we are prepared to work with them.
