According to the information I have, things are stalled on the federal side. It is possible that in Quebec they are saying the problem is in Ottawa, and in Ottawa they are saying it is in Quebec. However, since people in the municipalities are telling me that the problem is in Ottawa, I assume they are not mistaken. They say that neither the program nor the criteria have changed, but the way the criteria are applied has changed. They used to be able to use the funds for fire halls, city halls and community centres, but not anymore. This is a serious issue, especially for smaller municipalities. I feel it's important that you look into the issue.
