Thank you very much for highlighting in your question and example the kind of direct investment that's been made in Quebec through the gas tax fund transfer. It's one of the most direct and reliable tools that municipalities have. Our experience with the gas tax fund, and I think most recently illustrated by your government's one-time doubling of the transfer in the last federal budget, is how quickly municipalities are then able to turn that around into real-time projects. Every community has asset management plans and projects identified that are ready to go. Programs like the gas tax fund transfer that are direct, that are allocation based, and that provide the ability to plan really are the most streamlined version of delivering dollars to municipalities across the country. They enable them to get projects going, shovels in the ground, right away on a long list of projects that municipalities have at the ready.
