Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have the same question because I was the mayor of a municipality for a long time. I do not think that a single provincial government is going to come up with 50% of the cost so that an infrastructure program can get underway. If the federal government is providing 50%, I do not see many provincial governments also coming up with 50% to get to 100%.
This question goes to the Statistics Canada representatives and I will come back to the Department of Finance shortly. I would like to know if you already have a study on the debt level of municipalities in Canada and on the municipalities' ability to take on a new infrastructure program that requires them to go even deeper into debt.
