I am aware of your concerns. Of course, municipal elections were held in Quebec in recent months, and no announcements can be made in the 30 days leading up to the elections.
We have worked very well with Minister Laurent Lessard on this issue. We have asked municipalities to fill in one-page forms by December 15, I believe, and I am certain they will be able to make decisions and announce projects by January 29.
Sometimes, I find it frustrating because we cannot move as quickly as we would like. But we respect the laws that are unique to Quebec, laws that make it not only necessary, but also mandatory to work with the provinces in areas under their jurisdiction. I hope we will receive the applications. The forms are just one page long, and I hope that it can be done by January 29.
