Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Those are very good suggestions. We tried to do that but one of the problems we ran into was that it has to be verified whether the taxpayers are bona fide. The other problem is that municipalities wanted to be the ones to give out the rebates, even though they were territorial government rebates. We could give the rebates from here or the regional office, it would not matter, but we have to work out those administrative details. Sometimes people apply for the rebate, they may get paid for it and when you look into it they are not eligible for it for all kinds of different reasons. We are trying to streamline it. What you say makes a great deal of sense and we might go that way and take our chances with some of the pitfalls.
