Those negotiations took place between the hamlet, the municipality, and Gely Gautec who then went through the department to see if they would provide the funding to do this. They had, again, negotiated a unique situation where the work was completed -- we've said that on the front end -- and the payment was on the back end, if you want, next year. I suppose we could have gone through special warrant. For whatever reasons we chose not to. I don't know what else I can say. The contractor was willing to wait for his money, the community was aggressive in pursuing the initiative, the MLA was equally aggressive because it was in his riding, as other Members have been aggressive in protecting theirs. I don't know what else I can tell you. We could have gone for a special warrant but for some reason we didn't.
