Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses.
Obviously, Mr. Darch, you caught my attention when you mentioned Kelowna. I had the privilege of spending nine years as a city councillor and it will be eight years next month that I have been the member of Parliament for Kelowna—Lake Country.
You mentioned working with municipalities across Canada. I was president of our area association, in local government, and I spent two years with the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. You talked about supporting local government, and Mr. Fast also spent nine years in Abbotsford as a city councillor so he understands the importance of working with our local governments.
Have you been working with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and has this new non-profit organization had any liaison with them as well?
