--quote here from former Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish, who is currently a Mississauga city councillor. She says, “The three levels of government are cooperating extremely well in our city”. She goes on to thank the member of Parliament “for bringing us the largest single infusion of infrastructure money ever received by the City of Mississauga”
One quote that I particularly like, because I am the member for Newmarket—Aurora, came from the mayor of King Township, who is also the Liberal candidate in Newmarket—Aurora. In a letter to Paul Calandra, she wrote:
We really appreciate your dedication and hard work in making this dream become a reality for our township. This project is a great example of the federal, provincial and municipal governments working together to enhance community life by developing a facility that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
That's from Margaret Black, the mayor of King Township.
So here is my question to you. What has been your experience in this process of the three levels of government working together? Obviously the provinces have to come to the table first, but how has the assessment process been for you in your capacity as deputy minister and as staff?
