\nWHEREAS the Province of Manitoba has made $2.25 million available to municipalities in 2018 for the final year of the Municipal Road and Bridge Program; and
\nWHEREAS $14 million was available to municipalities in 2017 through the Municipal Road and Bridge Program; and
\nWHEREAS the Municipal Road and Bridge Program was developed in partnership with the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) and provides 50\/50 cost-shared funding for municipal road and bridge projects through a single-window application intake with no red tape; and
\nWHEREAS Manitoba municipalities regard the Municipal Road and Bridge Program as critical, predictable, and effective for budgeting and planning purposes in order to address their infrastructure deficit; and
