Thank you for that explanation. I know it has certainly been appreciated by our community to have the funding for our new water treatment plant so that we can get quality water. But there are areas in our community that can't access the piped water through the water subsidy program because of water delivery. I appreciate all the support the Minister is addressing with his department, but I do want to state for the record, Mr. Chairman, that it appears when this policy was developed -- I don't know if it was an oversight -- the intent of the program appeared to leave out Fort Smith with

regard to the outlying service areas. I don't think that was the intent of the policy. I certainly hope that some type of resolution can come to fruition in the near future to address this. I just wanted to make that comment because it has been a concern. I feel fairly confident that the new Minister will certainly make every effort to address this particular concern.
