Thank you very much, hon Deputy Chair. Hon Deputy President, let me follow up on the question itself.
You would agree with me that the nonpayment of the municipal debt has profound negative implications on municipalities themselves in providing basic services to the people. Even the Financial and Fiscal Commission, FFC, said that municipal debt and consumer debt has reached crisis proportions.
Now, in addition to what you've just said, I want to know what practical steps the government can take to ensure that indeed the municipal debt is managed properly, because for me that is very important.
