I hadn't read the paper that the Library of Parliament sent us. It says:
Under the terms and conditions of the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, all projects are required to begin and materially end construction prior to 31 March 2011. The federal government will pay its share of costs incurred up to 31 March 2011 and will not provide any funding beyond this date. For projects that are not substantially completed by 31 March 2011, the Government of Canada shall have the right to cancel funding in whole or in part, and further the federal government shall have the right to be repaid any funding advanced for such projects, unless the funding recipient commits to completing the project at its own expense by 31 December 2011.
In most cases, the municipalities are not at fault. It's shortages or other factors, such as the weather, where I come from, that are the cause of the delay. If the municipalities have to give the money back to the government, that won't be a good thing. What do you think about this?
