From what I can see, there's no question it was unusual. It was a unique opportunity. We've said that on the front end and I'm sure they will be unique opportunities in other budgets, and there are, in the way in which we do things. I don't think, with all due respect, that we could have been able to bring it forward. It was July, it was an initiative done by the municipality. I remember being fairly aggressive myself to see if, in fact, we could secure this funding to have it done. The principal negotiators were the mayor, the SAO and Gely Gautec. I think that was the name of the company. Mr. Antoine is correct, it was unique, it was a little different, no question of that. I don't know if we could have done it any other way. It just materialized because the company had excess, et cetera. I suppose we could have gone through a special warrant.
