Mr. Speaker, it's important that the community recognize that under the new deal, we are looking at allocating money directly to the communities as part of community infrastructure. For us, historically, that has been a fairly small amount. It was anywhere between $13 million and $17 million. As part of the new deal, this government has decided to increase that amount to a $25 million pot that will be accessible to communities.
Throughout the years as our plan has evolved, a lot of projects that historically used to be involved were not accepted, especially in areas like recreation projects and a lot of other initiatives that communities may desire to put in a community. So we have to make sure that communities are aware of what our initiative is, are aware of what we are planning to do with the new deal, are aware of the new funding that's coming forward under MRIF and also the gas tax, so we can have discussions around all these issues to ensure that communities don't come back and say we didn't think that was allowed under the planning. We want to make sure everybody is involved, including the SAOs, that everybody has a chance to have their say. That's why we are doing it. Some projects have not been high priority anymore. That may change and I think we need to be inclusive of all the communities. So that's what we are trying to do. Thanks.
