Quotes
“Local governments know best what their communities need, and the Government of Canada is proud to deliver stable, long-term funding that they count on to develop and maintain their public infrastructure.”
Francis Drouin, Member of Parliament for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell
“On behalf of the eight municipalities in Prescott and Russell, I recognize the federal government’s important financial contribution to the municipal sector – specifically for our roads, bridges, water and wastewater systems. By providing the gas tax funding on an annual basis – in other words, in a predictable manner – it allows for municipalities to plan their infrastructure investments in advance, and this is an enormous benefit from a budget planning perspective. The Government of Canada’s ongoing commitment towards municipal infrastructure is commendable.”
François St-Amour, Warden for the United Counties of Prescott-Russell
