Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm sympathetic to the mover of the amendment. As a former municipal counsellor, I fully understand the importance of municipalities.
For example, in my riding, ambulance services are not delivered by the municipality; they're delivered by a service board, because there happen to be separate municipalities. They sub it out to a service board. It's not done directly by the municipality.
It's an example of where this wouldn't fit. Even though I want to support municipal recognition, it doesn't fit in the case of my riding.
