Thank you. Yes, I skirted that first part of your question.
Absolutely. As I said, we were put into a basket where we're competing with the greater Toronto area, but we're massive. We're a small municipality and we have “county” in our name, but that's more of a branding strategy than representative of what we are. We need to be treated equally and given consideration of size. I think some of the provincial methods we're seeing are audits of our books to determine how much funding we have: Do you have the money and resources? What are your debt limits? Can you take on additional funding?
If the federal government could review those types of things, instead of simply gapping us together with other municipalities with the same population size, I think it would go a long way.
Thank you very much.
