Mr. Chair, the system proposed by the Member, I suggest, would be a nightmare. We'd have a checkerboard system. It is clear, and everybody understands, that incomes are lower in some of our small communities. That is definitely the case, but that's an issue that can be addressed in other manners. These numbers were arrived at after a good deal of consideration, looking at inflation rates and the need to cover our costs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
