Mr. Chairman, I'm not sure if anybody would have the title or label of squatters if they were paying taxes. I'm not clear on exactly what the Member is getting at. If he's asking if services being provided to squatters would be transferred over to property taxes, unless they had land tenure, there's no ability to do that. It doesn't apply to all the communities, it applies only to the municipal taxation authorities which currently are only the tax-based municipalities.
