(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Also, if a municipal corporation obtains used vehicles, perhaps purchased at lower rates in order to save spending, that might be used for maintenance on airports or roads or when developing lands for building residential areas. But because, many times these vehicles break down at a faster rate resulting in stoppage of work, or, if a water truck breaks down or leaks occur, different maintenance problems occur, when these vehicles stop operating properly, I imagine that it ends up costing the government a lot of money to maintain these older vehicles. I realize fiscal restraint is the direction but it is difficult for the municipal corporations to receive parts for broken down vehicles. The service centres are a far distance from these communities, and, if you end up getting the wrong parts, there is another delay in ordering those parts over again. So, my question to the Minister is, are you still providing used or second-hand vehicles to municipal corporations? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
