Again, just with regard to recreational facilities, the Minister has indicated that, over the years, the historical cost summary, the criteria has changed and varied, and it has come now to a point where, at one time, the original standards criteria saw communities contributing ten per cent of the construction cost for gyms and 40 per cent for arenas. The percentage has been revised from zero to ten, respectively, so, if that is the case, then we are looking at a situation in which communities that have recreation facilities pay 30 per cent less than what other communities had to contribute, and I find that totally unfair. I would like to ask the Minister why he has decided to change this policy. The old 1985 policy has been changed to reduce the contribution costs.
