Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I truly do appreciate hearing from all of you today.
I'm a member from Saskatchewan, so I think I'm going to focus my questions to those individuals who took the time to come out to Ottawa and present to us. I am pleased that you were able to reschedule and be here. Five minutes isn't long, so I'm going to jump right in.
Mr. Marit, I appreciate your presentation. If there is nothing we can do in terms of infrastructure, is there anything the federal government can do within the regulatory regime to assist municipalities?
