Thank you, Madam Speaker. I understand the announcement was made after the Cabinet decision, but did the Cabinet decision and did his advice not take into account the fact that municipal budgets are now set and fixed? The new fiscal year has started and it would be very disruptive, difficult, inconvenient and time consuming for municipalities to have to re-configure their entire budgets to implement a policy in that same fiscal year. Was that factor not considered in the timing of the implementation of the policy? Thank you.
