Smith said the bill was put into legislation due to the “bilateral deals” the federal government made with Alberta municipalities, without involving the province.“But now I have 320 municipalities saying, ‘What about us?’ Including 24 mid-sized cities,” Smith said. Additionally, Airdrie, Edmonton, Sylvan Lake, Banff, Bow Island, Westlock, Smoky Lake and Duchess received money through the fund.
