Mr. Antoine may have a point. I'd have to look at it. I'm not going to dispute the fact that perhaps the chiefs, as he has suggested, weren't consulted. It was my understanding, from the notes here, that in 1989 there was a public discussion paper on this whole thing tabled in the House, translated and sent to all municipal governments. I understand his concern. I don't know how we would reassure him. It is my understanding that we are not taking anything away, I see it as adding to municipal governments. I don't know what more to add than that.
