On the issue of approving municipal infrastructure projects, the government launched its recovery plan quite quickly, and municipalities, especially the smaller ones, are having difficulty submitting their projects in time. Bigger municipalities have more engineering services at their disposal and often plan many projects in advance, which smaller municipalities can't do.
You state in your brief that six to nine months can go by before a project finds itself on paper. Have municipalities had to hurry in order to be able to submit their projects? If that's the case, could one say that the security of construction workers is at stake?
