Yes, I agree with Mr. Lazenby. I think that the money set aside for that should go to municipalities, and that they should be allowed to decide what they will do with it. The decisions should be consistent with certain parameters, of course, in the sense that the municipalities would be forced to work on developing a smart city.
However, the idea of submitting projects whose relevance would be assessed by the federal government is not at all in line with how we see municipal autonomy, at least in Quebec.
