Thank you to all the witnesses. I found everybody's presentations today great and informative.
We had a witness last week who was interesting as well, because he talked about not necessarily new, innovative things but about just doing what we do a little bit better. Representing the Yukon, I've seen some things greatly improve up there on the energy front and especially in terms of green energy and clean energy.
My question will be to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
I will give a couple of examples about Yukon's Mayo B hydroelectric project, which the Government of Canada invests in through the green infrastructure plan. That was a $71-million investment from the Government of Canada. Through Canada's economic action plan, Dawson City got a new waste water treatment facility. We have invested in a waste-to-energy program up in Old Crow that's pretty exciting. Haines Junction is looking at biomass in its waste management strategy and at turning waste management into energy. That's through feasibility planning, funded through CanNor.
Of course we've just entered into a new resource revenue-sharing agreement with industry and the Government of Canada and the territory to see more of our resource revenue share come right back into the municipalities to allow them to look at innovative things.
You mentioned the gas tax fund and its permanency, and the Building Canada fund. How helpful have all of these things been, in your experience, in getting Canadian municipalities to the point we're at now? When I look at where we were six or seven years ago and at where we are today in the Yukon, we've made leaps and bounds in our municipalities.
Do you have any other stories like that from other municipalities across Canada where these sorts of programs and services have led to innovation that would be helpful for the committee to know about and that maybe could be modelled and shared in other jurisdictions in Canada?
