Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for joining us this morning.
As a quick note, my great-grandfather was a homesteader about an hour south of here, so the Wallaces have been in Saskatchewan for many years. I'm from Ontario and have been here a couple of times. Another little tidbit is that my great-grandmother had eight daughters and sons, and all of them were in uniform in World War II, although we lost two of them. They were all proud Saskatchewan folks, and I'm happy to be here today.
I used to be a municipal councillor in the City of Burlington. Can a municipal government run a deficit in Saskatchewan? No. So you have to be careful about one-time expenditures over program expenditures--both rural and urban.
What is the threshold for an urban municipality over a rural municipality in Saskatchewan? There are two organizations here, so I assume there's some sort of cut-off.
