Mr. Speaker, the money that we provide to municipalities as a government is a block fund. How municipalities choose to deliver services within that block funding is up to them. I cannot say how they will account for the decrease of 4.7 percent, but we have the same problem with capital. We have reduced our capital. We cannot say that we are going to build everything that all of the departments had asked for, or maybe even have had in their capital plans. We have made some changes. We are confident that, in general, our levels of programs and services are of the same quality as we had before, but there are changes. Decreases in some areas, increases in some areas. Thank you.
