I also understand that there is a new component to this process; that is, the involvement of the provinces, where they actually reach down to the municipality. One of the things I am also thankful for is the opportunity I had for many years as mayor of a municipality.
How do they feel? The Federation of Canadian Municipalities is the spokesperson, and really becomes the umbrella across Canada. Are they continually involved? Have they been part of these negotiations and kept involved? Sometimes we hear they aren't, but we know how important it is, mostly because of your procurement program. Could you just highlight again if they are, and make sure that we are carrying the right message back to our municipalities?
