Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs and get back to my Member's statement from earlier where I've suggested that the department isn't being fair with all communities. I think the department has an obligation to be fair to communities, whether they be small or whether they be tax-based larger communities. Case in point, if you look at the gas tax monies, it was 1 percent plus per capita, then on the MRIF it went to 1.5 percent plus per capita and now we're at 2 percent plus per capita. I'd like to ask the Minister why there's a steady escalation in the base which negatively impacts larger communities. Thank you.
