Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can the Minister or his deputy give us an idea of how long these problems have been happening in the communities? Has it been ongoing? Has it just been recent? Have you seen these financial difficulties or have they been there for a number of years and just continue to grow and grow? It seems like a lot of communities do not have the ability to generate revenues and do not have the tax base or the population base to be able to increase revenues. Most municipalities do not generate revenues, unlike tax-based municipalities. Has this problem been ongoing or has it been around for a number of years?
