Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is no population figure per se that determines the communities eligible for funding under our capital programs. What determines whether a community is eligible or not is whether it's listed as one of the eligible communities in the policies that we have; our settlement capital assistance policy or our municipal capital assistance policy. They range from small communities to large communities. Within each of our capital programs themselves, there are, depending on the size of the population, communities eligible for certain sizes of facilities. For instance, if a community has a population greater than 400 people, it becomes eligible for a community arena. If it's less than 400 people, it's only eligible for an outdoor skating rink, for example, according to our standards and criteria.
