I know the program, but I'm explaining to you that it is distinctly inadequate. I'll give you a very concrete example. Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis is a municipality of 1,500 inhabitants. The department turned over some infrastructure to it and told it that it will repair it completely. However, in 20 years, the municipality will be utterly incapable of spending $2 million, $3 million or $4 million to repair the infrastructure. That's what you must understand. The reason the program has not worked in Quebec is that the department is asking small municipalities to take charge of infrastructure that will subsequently cost them a fortune. These municipalities will be unable to bear the responsibility. That's the defect of the program.
