Madam Speaker, we're certainly aware of the fiscal capacities, or incapacity at times, of the smaller communities. They don't have a tax-base and they don't have the ability to raise revenues. So, yes, we will try and put in a program that is flexible and recognizes their problems. Hopefully, we will be able to announce that program, certainly by the end of this session, Madam Speaker. Thank you.
