Prime Minister Mark Carney says Ottawa probably can’t undertake a thorough overhaul of how municipalities are funded in the near future, with the federal government now focused on major projects.

Carney spoke this morning to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which represents cities and towns that have lobbied Ottawa to give them more independent means of financing their operations.
