Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That concerns me. The fact that there is an overall budget amount we are going to approve here, but we do not have the actual amounts going to tax-based municipalities. I guess all I can say is I am lost here. Number one, the committee reviewed this and were not made aware reductions were coming. We find out in this forum that there will be reductions from five to seven percent, and are told at the same time we are unsure of the actual dollar figures going to each of the tax-based municipalities.
We are receiving mixed messages here. Knowing we are nearing the end of the day, I would like to suggest the Minister can talk with the Minister responsible for the Financial Management Board and hopefully get all of the facts for tomorrow, unless you have them back at the department.
I would like to get a clear indication as to how that breaks down to each of the tax-based municipalities. Thank you.
