I think most of that work is really not done in the Department of Finance. Most of that work would be done in the ministry of infrastructure. Those officials would be most familiar with the existing program architecture as well as the terms and conditions of those programs.
We certainly do hear representations from big-city mayors and from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. We are aware of issues or concerns that are raised in that respect, but the primary policy work is not undertaken within the Department of Finance.
