One more comment. I agree that some communities have higher costs because of the system that they set up. I have attended Association of Municipalities' meetings and these issues were brought up. We had cases where people stood up and asked "how do you expect us to live with this cap when you have built our sewer lagoon 45 minutes away, and we can only pump out three houses?" I have a community right within my riding, the Hay River Reserve, that is experiencing a similar problem. There is no way they can run as efficiently as people can because they are considered part of Hay River. They have to drive two houses, three houses at the most, and drive 26 kilometres to dump. I would like to know if the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs would recognize the reserve as a completely different community instead of lumping that community in with Hay River.
