No problem, Mr. Chair.
I would like to ask Ms. Lee a question about her recommendation. I would have liked to know what she would have done to ensure that the money went to the right place, if she were minister. I think she did a good job answering the questions about the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.
My question is for the people from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Mr. Karsten, you indicated in your comments that it is important to find a new tool… How exactly did you put it? I will quote your comments in English because I have the English version.

Apart from the excise tax on gasoline, which is transferred and is very flexible for municipalities, what other tools do you think should be developed? I would like your answer to be very specific.
