Excellent.
It's good to see you again, Your Worship.
I'll focus my questions on you, given our shared constituency in Central Nova.
I know the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, sitting to my right, has a cottage in your municipality as well. He'll be very interested in my line of questioning, which will focus on the rural portions of your riding, which you raise.
One of the things I hear back at home from the folks who live in the rural part of HRM is that since the amalgamation took place, it seems hard for the city to sometimes justify the bigger projects in the rural areas. There are a handful of initiatives afoot which I know you're well aware of.
When it comes to doing big things in small communities, if the money is there at the federal level, is the city going to be there to play ball as well?
