Mr. Chairman, the basis for the amendments to this legislation is to empower the communities to give them the ability to do a number of things; in this case, the transfer of unpaid charges to property taxes. We would expect that the municipality would notify the client that they are in arrears of any type of service, and I am sure that that is the practice that is in place now.

However, in a case where there are unpaid charges that may be lingering for some time, the municipality will have the ability to transfer to the individual's property taxes, and there is no real legal notification process in place to notify the individual that this will be taking place.
