I'll just note that there's a lot of money flowing from the federal government to municipalities in the south of Canada for waste-water and water treatment systems. I know that in my riding and in ridings in the region I represent in southern Ontario, waste-water and water treatment plants have been funded to the tune of hundreds of millions of federal dollars and more over the last decade.
The federal government is in the business of funding waste-water and water treatment systems. I would note that I think it has a particularly unique responsibility to the three territories, because they are not independent sovereign orders of government like the 10 provinces are. They are essentially closer to the federal government and its responsibilities than are the 10 provinces, yet we fund significantly municipalities and municipal systems in provincial areas of jurisdiction.
Chair, I just make that point. Thank you.
