Amendment NDP-33 would change the indexation formula. The way this clause reads today, yes, it increases the moneys that would go to cities through the gas tax, but in hundred million dollar increments. Therefore, without the adoption of our amendment, there would be no increased funds to cities until 2016.
We're proposing that the indexation formula allow increases in thousand dollar increments instead of the proposed hundred million. That would get more money to the cities more quickly than under the Conservative formula. In what we're proposing, it would mean $22 million would go to the cities for next year, $64 million the following year, and then $80 million in 2018. It just accelerates the process by changing the indexation formula.
