Thank you, Mr. Chair.
MP Rogers, it's great to see you again. I really appreciate seeing all of the recognition of the municipal experience around the table. The gas tax fund is absolutely critical. All across Canada it's a very simple and effective way to get funding from the federal government to local governments. It gives us the flexibility to apply it where we need it in very different ways all across the country.
The doubling of the gas tax fund, as I said earlier, was welcomed all across the country. It's fast and it's effective. Municipalities are incredibly accountable for the dollars spent. As an order of government that all across the country has an inability to run deficits, having the extra funding available for our capital projects has been critical, particularly in this year when many of us had to put off capital projects and have been suffering from a devastating hit to our operating revenues. Particularly if we look to our members in the prairie provinces, they've been very hard hit with the municipal revenues. Getting this additional revenue, getting this commitment that could roll out so quickly, is highly welcome and much appreciated.
Does that answer your question?
