My recommendation is understanding that local government is the most accessible government. We're the government of proximity, as President Pearce, the president of the FCM, has said. It's understanding that we have a role, we're fiscally prudent and we're closest to the people. When we get caught between federal and provincial fights, who actually loses is the people. We only have one taxpayer, so I think everybody needs to come to the table and realize that we're pretty efficient in the ways we provide deliveries and services, and fiscally efficient. We need to start having that relationship.
