Thank you, Mr. Chair. My intervention won't be very long.
When we were listening to witnesses, we had, first of all, the Association of Manitoba Municipalities. We also had the union of Quebec municipalities. I don't have it written in my notes, but I remember that one of them, although I would have to check the blues on this, specifically made the statement--perhaps it was the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and someone can correct me—that for some projects, it wouldn't matter what the length of the extension was, because they would never get them completed.
I have some concern that perhaps we've never heard from any of those projects and that there might be individuals and municipalities who would have a vested interest in seeing a longer extension on this. Perhaps we're shortchanging them if we don't listen to that group of people as well.
I don't know if the Federation of Canadian Municipalities could forward us some of those names or if they came from the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, but they specifically told us that there were some projects where it didn't matter what the extension time was. I think we need to hear from those people to hear about what problems they are facing, what the barriers are to getting this done, what kind of timeline they are looking for in order to get this accomplished, and if they would be willing to come and be a witness before this committee.
