Mr. Chairman, I want to make a couple of comments with respect to this. I think it is critical that a five-year capital plan be developed as it appears that, the way the capital estimates are currently developed, there does not seem to be justification for some of the requests in the capital plan. It does not reflect any type of vision, needs or assessment of what is required in many of the communities. A lot of the capital planning is done on demand, and it appears that whoever requests a demand assertively with this government, receives a response. I do not think there is a system that looks at equity in addressing capital plans. I, therefore, believe that it is critical that a five-year capital plan be developed by the government. Thank you.
