In particular, they discussed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The essential support of the Manitoba government in anchoring bilingual municipalities\u2019 commitment for the delivery of services in both official languages\u2014particularly through the implementation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ambm.ca\/site-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AMBM_MaturiteMunicipal-ENG_V3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Municipal Maturity Model (3M),<\/a> which recognizes municipal investment\u2014and through the provision of predictable and stable funding to support this gradual work.<\/li>\n<li>The collective interest in equipping municipal governments to fully play their role in building and maintaining high-quality, sustainable municipal infrastructure, which is often a key factor for the development of their region, their quality of life and their economic development potential.<\/li>\n<li>The importance of the AMBM Group&#8217;s driving force, thanks in particular to the leveraging effect of the AMBM&#8217;s two subsidiaries:\n<ul>\n<li>The potential to substantially increase Francophone and bilingual economic immigration, notably by optimizing the role of the Economic Development Council for Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities (<em>Conseil de d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique des municipalit\u00e9s bilingues du Manitoba<\/em>, or CDEM) to better connect candidates&#8217; skills with employment opportunities in bilingual municipalities, with an emphasis on rural areas;<\/li>\n<li>Eco-West Canada\u2019s (EWC) expertise and pragmatic approach to ensure that public and local decision-makers achieve measurable results, and create multiple leveraging effects for the funding of key green infrastructure. Today, EWC is recognized as a leading partner of the Manitoba government for the delivery of large-scale projects supporting the energy transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end of the meeting, Mr. Kinew and Mr. Normandeau confirmed the alignment of their priorities, as well as their mutual interest in working together to strengthen the municipal-provincial partnership to build
