I can think of a couple of points.
To your first point in your question about whether the money is flowing, I think we have some members who would say that specifically under ICIP it's been a slow flow at best and maybe a trickle. Applications for some projects were put in a long time ago and in some cases they still haven't been formally announced. I know there are bilaterals between the province and the federal government, so I'm not going to speculate on where the logjam is, but municipalities need those dollars and need to be spending them in the appropriate places.
In terms of flexibility in appropriate places, in Ontario we all have asset management plans and we're all working to improve those plans on a regular basis. We have identified the priority projects within the community and we adhere to a set of principles and plans to identify them. If we can have programs that allow us the flexibility to spend where we have identified our most urgent needs, then so much the better. Having predictable, sustained funding that allows us to target investments in all 444 municipalities is the goal.
