Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses.
My questions are for the FCM and Mr. Karsten.
Mr. Karsten, thank you very much for making the case. I'm certainly very cognizant of the challenges faced by municipalities. I'm in touch very regularly, almost daily, with our mayor in London, Ontario, Ed Holder, and with our budget chair, Josh Morgan, who is actually London's representative on the FCM. I believe you know Josh. He's doing an incredible job as well.
Could I ask you about the $10-billion ask that the FCM has put forward to the federal government? Is this a one-time thing, Mr. Karsten?
