Certainly, I completely agree with your assessment of the importance of municipalities and what they do. I don't think you'll find anybody in this field who disagrees, particularly with the model we use in this country. Making sure the municipal voice is there is very important. Traditionally that has been done, and that's the role of the province. And I'm not suggesting that it can't be improved.
I think the point you raise, then, from a practical point of view, is that what would need to be done is that the federal government would need to meet in particular with SOREM, which is our main contact group on emergency measures in the provinces. If there's agreement among all those people to include municipalities either as observers or as participants in the process, it's certainly an idea that can be considered. They certainly are involved. It tends to be more indirect right now, but I understand your point entirely.
