We certainly don't have a position specific to that question. When we looked at the question that this committee had forwarded on how to improve competition within the infrastructure sector, we had identified other areas that would in fact increase competition and improve the outcomes of those investments.
But just a note on your revenue data, I think we'll have to put our heads together and look at the discrepancies. Data that comes from Statistics Canada shows that between 1988 and 2008 municipal own-source revenues, which mainly are the property taxes, have only increased 1.5%, while at the same time, transfers from other governments have decreased 22%.
The notion that municipal revenues are galloping ahead doesn't seem to be supported by the data we have, but we're certainly open to seeing other data.
