Because in many provinces, like Quebec, we can't intervene directly with municipalities. In Quebec we have to go through the province. That's an obligation. We signed an agreement with them, and in the future I hope we will sign another agreement with them for a new infrastructure plan.
In Quebec we will have to transfer all the money to the province. They choose their projects. When they have prioritized a list, they send it to the federal government. We have planned at the beginning, before the signature, what kinds of programs will be on the table. We have to respect the fact that we have to invest through the Province of Quebec.
As a former mayor—I know some expect to become mayor, but I'm a former one—I want to have the right tool to help mayors and provincial ministers. The tool we use depends on what is important for each person, but in the end we need a good infrastructure plan to fix things for the population.
