Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. His department put in place, this year, a new municipal capital assistance policy which will effect next year's capital programs. In this policy, municipalities are required to provide a cash or sweat equity contribution towards capital infrastructure in their communities, depending on the type of infrastructure and other factors in the policy. We're all fully aware, given the course of events this past week and since the session started, that some municipalities are on unstable financial ground. Some are even currently involved in debt recovery programs. My question to the Minister is, how is he going to deal with the situation where a community is unable to meet their financial obligations towards this capital infrastructure, towards their contribution?
