I will address the people from the Canadian Public Works Association about the March 31 deadline. You are proposing that the federal government invest more money, but the commitments have been made. We know that Canada's deficit will be a bit higher, since the government is bound to a tax harmonization process over the next five years. Therefore, it has nothing to do with cash.
Would it not be better if the government, instead of doing this on a case by case basis, simply announced that it will agree to finance the work until July 31, or something like that?
