Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for being here, and a special welcome to Mr. Woodside, a fellow New Brunswicker.
Just for the purposes of Mr. Saxton, if you had a career in radio broadcasting, that would mean that your career had come full circle, wouldn't it?
I'd like to start with you, Mr. Woodside. You talked about the one-third, one-third, and one-third, which has been the traditional funding mechanism we've used for infrastructure, especially in New Brunswick and other municipalities.
With the federal wastewater regulations and other types of things, what is your view on the small municipalities that perhaps don't have the fiscal capacity. I have a number in my riding that are very small. My biggest municipality has a population of less than 6,000, but they're dotted all over the place. They would probably have a significant inability to meet the one-third, one-third, and one-third if they ran into a major issue.
Has there been some discussion about how that might work under the program?
