Chairperson, the proposal is meant to address the challenges identified in the funding mechanism. The consultation process is still on. At this moment, no-one can indicate with certainty which challenges are for a differentiated approach and which ones are not. When we hold these consultations at another summit to be held later, the views of the different stakeholders will be tested. The issue here is that in a democracy, when government identifies challenges, we may want to consider a particular mechanism to deal with those challenges. I believe that the hon member is aware that in the funding of the municipalities there are challenges to which we need to apply our minds.
We have to consult and take on board the views of the stakeholders. At that point - as the hon member is saying that I personally seem to favour this approach - those in favour of the approach, including the hon member, when they finally make inputs, will know exactly where they stand. We have to drive an approach to find a mechanism that will address the challenges identified so far. Thank you very much, Chairperson.
