It's either that, a combination of that or seeking additional transfers from the federal government, but the TFF, territorial formula financing, is already quite generous compared with other transfer programs. Under current policies, we don't see that many alternatives. It's reducing spending, increasing taxes or more generous transfers from the federal government. Unfortunately, there are not that many solutions.
