On the mission we were just on, there was a representative from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities along with us, but I would also like to make the distinction that we represent the economic development departments and most of the economic development departments are at arm's-length and are not for profit. Being at arm's-length doesn't mean we don't work closely with the municipalities, and it certainly doesn't mean we don't work closely with the mayors. But our relationship with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities is more one of being sister organizations involved in the same activity related to cities.
On December 5th, 2013. See this statement in context.
