It may sound redundant, but when I was mayor, I made grant applications in collaboration with the municipal government. Of course, as soon as something is realized, there is an economic benefit for the community, be it for community work, an arena, or a cultural centre. I think it is clear that, from the moment a program is put in place by the federal government, the goal is to have economic, social, community, cultural, sport and other benefits.
I'm repeating myself. Could you give me a concrete example that demonstrates that we are not able to show economic benefits and where the minister—whether it's a Conservative or Liberal government, that isn't the issue—is not sure who is ensuring that we should add a structure that, to make it happen, would require more time and more work for developers, the municipalities and the communities.
Could you give me one or two examples of this, that justify why you thought about this bill?
I would like to repeat that I think the intent of this bill is noble. We cannot oppose virtue. However, I'd like to know what this will change and if anyone was bullied in the past about this willingness to change and implement this legislation.
