Yes, of course we would. I'm certainly not going to comment on the selection and distribution in the country. It wasn't part of the municipal role to be involved in that in any way whatsoever. Certainly, the expectation is that programs are accessible to all municipalities across the country in a fair and equitable way.
The advantage of the gas tax is that it provides a foreseeable revenue source that can be planned with and banked on so that municipalities can use it to borrow other money or do whatever they need to do, whereas on a project-based program you have to apply, and there are all the upfront costs and the uncertainties, etc. So there are certain advantages to the gas tax.
Yes, any programming needs to be accessible in a fair and equitable way across the country.
