I want to thank you for the question.
First of all, there is no cut. There is no cut. As you know, we'll balance the budget. The 10-year infrastructure plan, the new plan, will be there, and it will be there to support municipalities, provinces, and territories.
As you know, la Fédération canadienne des municipalités has been a partner since the beginning. They know exactly where we are, and we have discussions with them frequently. On November 5 we sent the new agreement for the gas tax fund renewal to the provinces and territories. They already have it in their hands. We're hearing all of the municipal associations across the country ask the provinces and territories to sign it as soon as they can. They've had it in their hands for two weeks.
We have had some new categories, for sure, but the rest is close to the agreement we had in the past. We hope they will sign it quickly. You and I have been involved in municipal politics. It's time for the budget now. They know; they just have to plan it and ask the province to support it. The budget will be done in municipalities from now to the beginning of December. They have time to do it. Now we enjoin the provinces to sign that as soon as they can, respecting the fact that we want to have this money available for the Canadian population for the next construction season.
