Mr. Minister, I also respect jurisdictions. The municipalities are asking to see results from negotiations between Ottawa and Quebec. When the Liberals were in power, agreements were signed.

Are you the ones delaying the process? Have you imposed requirements that the Quebec government is refusing to respect? If so, the municipalities are the ones paying the price. They have been prepared to start these projects since 2007, what is the stumbling block? Are you being too demanding?
