Mr. Chairman, the reporting relationship would not change in the case of the hamlets and non-tax-based communities, but the relationship would change somewhat for the towns and villages. Part of the implementation of this policy would involve community service agreements, agreements set out between the department and the municipalities regarding rules on what are eligible costs to charge against the economic rate for the water and sewer service. It is against the economic rate that the subsidy is applied. The department would work with municipalities through that agreement so that both parties have a good and common understanding of what rules apply.
