I appreciate that, so I'll take that as a yes. The gas tax being made permanent, indexed, is a positive thing, obviously, for the Union of Quebec Municipalities, because of the guarantees. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I got a sense that you felt positive about it.
Let's go at this a different way. One of the questions you've touched on, which I think is important, is that you said the funds from the gas tax should be for dedicated programming. I think you said long term, but I don't want to put words in your mouth.
I asked that very question in my own city, whether the funds that are received through the gas tax should go for things like streets and gutters, things that I would call normal maintenance, or whether they should be put aside for larger infrastructure projects. I have my own opinion on it and I'll tell you what my own constituents said. But I would like your view in terms of the moneys for the gas tax, on the presumption that a municipality would get whatever number of millions a year—some smaller, some larger. If someone had a $100-million project, and in my case, in my city, they were getting $21 million a year, they could actually fund that over five years.
Do you think the funds out of the gas tax should be dedicated toward, as you've said, long-term programming—in other words the larger infrastructure projects—versus the streets and gutters type of maintenance?
