I'll ask a quick question to Mr. Smith.

During the COVID pandemic, I know, for a lot of municipalities, two of the only ways they have of getting funds are through property taxes and user fees. I know some municipalities have tried to help residents through assisting with property taxes and user fees. Some funds have been provided. I know through the Association of Municipalities of Ontario that a lot has been received from the provinces.

Are municipalities still calling for more money for infrastructure to help assist, with some federal funds or programs?
