Thank you.

The connection between the gas tax and the fund disappeared a number of years ago. That's why we renamed it the Canada community-building fund a few years ago.

There is no relationship between gas tax collection and the fund. This year, the fund is $2.4 billion, and indexation is 2%. For every $100‑million increase, the amount and distribution of funding changes.
