Yes. We try to be reasonable and work with our colleagues from all parts. I know that MP Crowder and MP Lunney are two great MPs on the island. They're both retiring but we work together as I know it's a coastal forest community as well.
I know it's one of those situations where we tried to make sure that all levels of government.... As you say, there's only one taxpayer so I understand the concern. That was a historic bridge and something that's been sentimental to many in the community.
You mentioned in your opening comments—and my colleague Mr. Hiebert reaffirmed—that bulk water wasn't part of NAFTA and it's not part of CETA. Actually our colleague Larry Miller had a House resolution in Parliament to deal with water and bulk water is protected. So I just wanted to clarify the concerns that you had that there was no consultation. Minister Fast as a trade minister also spent nine years in local government in Abbotsford and worked closely with FCM over the last several years and we have several news releases from FCM supporting it.
So maybe you could just clarify, is it the concern that giving access to procurement by municipalities will encourage privatization of the water systems? Is that your concern?
