Yes. What you have said is important. I did my homework and I have the list of former municipal politicians in all caucuses. More than 15% of our caucus are former municipal politicians, and we're still in touch with our former friends in municipalities and provinces. We continue to work with them, as you know.
As I have said, before we launched the new plan, we held 13 round tables all across the country. Only one organization was invited to all 13 round tables, and that was the FCM, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. They were part of the process. They knew exactly what was coming. We continue to work for them.
If you ask a mayor if they want more money for their infrastructure, for sure they will say yes, but we have to balance the budget, as they do in their home cities. It's easy to promise something, but higher taxes on incomes...only for what you see about carbon taxes, $20 billion will be picked from the pockets of the Canadian population. That's not what we want. We want to leave that money in the pockets of the population. They have to pay their municipal taxes too.
We continue to work in partnership with municipalities and provinces and we continue to support them. We have frequent discussions with mayors all across the country. They know it's the most important plan they ever had, and I think the most important thing is that predictability. Now that's in the bill. We have doubled it, the gas tax fund, and now we are indexing it. They know that's very good for them. They know it's there and we will not change it. We will continue to work in partnership with them.
