Was that part of my time, Mr. Chair?
I'll get back to my comments.
Because municipalities had to apply for these dollars—and certainly some of them would have to take into consideration that they may not have had capital programs identified in the regular stream they could put forward—there were municipalities that couldn't participate. But I think that within municipalities there is an understanding of the nature of the issues you have brought up here, and if the government were to poll the municipalities to see how they would handle this, I think they would be very supportive of an understanding or explanation by the various municipalities that are not able to complete their projects on time. With an explanation of the nature of the situation those municipalities were under, I think other municipalities would understand that type of behaviour and that type of solution to this particular issue, because municipalities are all the same across the country. They have to deal with these variables in programs. I think there would be a lot of understanding from other municipalities across the country.
You represent the association of municipalities in Quebec, so you're speaking on behalf of all of the municipalities of Quebec in asking for some understanding for the particular municipalities that have had problems. You wouldn't say what you're saying here today if you didn't have the support of all the municipalities of Quebec. Is that not correct?
