Chief Executive Officer, Federation of Canadian Municipalities
As we've said, it's critical. We can't plan effectively without long-term funding, but to your point about the health care situation, it's pretty simple stuff in one way. You create a long-term framework of 15 or 20 years, and you have five-year increments in which you can have your conversations about realignment or adjustment as needed.

The Chair NDP Pat Martin
Thank you, John. You finished under budget and on time. That's very good.
This has been a very useful session, I believe. Thank you to all the witnesses, and a special thank you to Edmonton Public Schools for getting up in the middle of the night to be with us here today. It was very useful to hear an actual user of this service. It was very valuable.
Thank you to all of you.
We're going to ask the witnesses to please leave the room. The committee will go to an in camera session for five brief minutes.
We're suspended.
