The capital budget, for example, includes $4 million in energy efficiency upgrades. That is money paid now to be earned back later in both quality of life benefits for staff and members of the municipality, and direct cost payback as well. What a wonderful thing it would be to see similar new and, yes, costly investments made in things like child care or crime crime prevention in our operating budget that would pay dividends in quality of life and prevention of downstream costs. Or as other members of the public have encouraged earlier, things like alcohol prevention services. So I hope that as the work begins for next year's budget, that you think how to leverage this willingness to invest in ourselves via bonds and how we can get creative about the use of capital budget and bonds to make investments in ourselves that pay off long term beyond upkeep, like road maintenance or replacement of equipment.
