Be prepared that there could be no specific mention on ROF funding as Sohi previously stated he was giving more autonomy to municipalities ....be prepared for the possibility of waiting further for announcements?

2-year plan to focus on repairs to crumbling infrastructure, minister says
We need to act'
Sohi has been travelling the country, meeting with local stakeholders as he begins to hammer out the details of the federal government's 10-year, $60 billion infrastructure pledge the Liberals made during last year's election campaign.
He offered few specifics on Thursday. However, he did say that the Liberal government will develop a new framework for how it handles infrastructure projects, including giving more autonomy to municipalities to identify their infrastructure priorities, he said.
The government will also make the process more transparent, ensure that project criteria are easier to understand, and speed up approvals for projects.
"We all know the economic challenges we are facing today," Sohi said in his speech.
"But investing in infrastructure in a strategic way can stimulate the economy and help build sustainable and inclusive communities. We need to act, and we need to act now."
Later Thursday, the provincial government identified the infrastructure projects it considers of "key importance" to Ontario, including upgrades and new track construction along GO Transit corridors Lakeshore West and Lakeshore East, Kitchener and Barrie, as well as signal upgrades to the Union Station rail corridor. These transportation projects carry a pricetag of just over $3.9 billion.
The Scarborough subway extension and Ring of Fire development projects are also top priorities. These projects carry a price tag of $5.4 billion, according to a spokesperson for Premier Kathleen Wynne.
