Thank you.
I want to ask you about the important thing of closing the gap in the communities. The federal government has a 6% escalator in health, the transfers to the province. None of the communities I represent even came close to that, with a 2% cap. Even then they were down below 2% many times. If we're going to take this off after 20 years it will leave a massive hole in infrastructure, in health, and in education. What is the bare minimum escalator we need to ensure the monies are going to flow and we're not going to get another shell game of promises one year and then the money will be slowly drawn back. The provinces have clear escalators. What would you say is the escalator we need not only to meet the needs, but also to start to close the gap that's been created because of the 2% cap?
