The municipalities send their invoices to the Government of Quebec, which reviews them. Within the framework of the Stimulus Fund, Quebec and the other provinces make progress reports within a system that is part of the program. They provide updates, indicate how much money has been spent and how much funding has been requested from the federal government. Over 95% of projects are conducted under agreements with the provinces. Most of the funding is given to the provinces by the federal government.
