Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses today.
I found a few things interesting in your introductory remarks. One was regarding the infrastructure funding and the prescriptiveness of it.
You indicated that being less prescriptive was going to be very helpful, especially to some of the smaller municipalities that you would be representing. You actually are encouraging this particular infrastructure plan to be even less prescriptive than the Building Canada fund was.
Why would you want to see less prescription? Perhaps you could expand on that and let us know how helpful it would be to the smaller municipalities, and even to the larger municipalities, as far as your organization sees it.
