Autonomoney! (III)

The Honourable Tom Hedderson, Minister of Municipal Affairs (Acting), has some ideas on how to help municipalities:

The Department of Municipal Affairs also highlighted for delegates a number of initiatives in support of municipalities which include:

• A commitment to continue to pursue federal funding that may become available. In 2009, the Department of Municipal Affairs accessed almost $110 million for municipal infrastructure through Building Canada, Base Funds, stimulus money, and federal top-up funds.

Excellent. The Department of Municipal Affairs of The Most Autonomous Province Ever will, maybe, continue to expend letterhead and metered envelopes, writing to Uncle Louis St. Laurent Uncle Steve, asking for still more federal money to be autonomous with.
