I am going to talk about the gasoline excise tax. The federal government has long wanted to tie funding to the construction of new housing, and that presents us with a challenge at present. We think this is bizarre, because we have a big water supply deficit. We can't think about adding new housing to it. We need a good water system in order to have good housing and a good sewer system to be able to have new housing.
We need to think first about our primary infrastructure before building new housing. We believe the priority would be for the TECQ to no longer be tied to building new housing. That is an important message, which I wanted to send.
You also talked about how to go about improving the situation. We think that water conservation is the best vector. Because of climate change, pressure has really grown on our water resources.
Compared to the past, to all of human history, we are currently witnessing a demographic explosion everywhere on the planet. That also puts pressure on our water resources. We can manage it by conserving water. That way, new people will be able to come to our rural and urban communities and we will not need to build new infrastructure.
In a nutshell, if we conserve water, we will be able to admit new people.
