Mr. Chairman, the formula has a number of factors in it. Perhaps I could cite one example being a calculation relating to protective services. If the population is less than 350 people, there is a certain amount of money that's added in the formula. If the population is between 350 and 700 people, there is another amount; or, if it's greater than 700 people, it's a different amount again. Those populations will be different for different parts of the funding formula. Other parts of the formula are just directly related to population on a per capita basis, and the amount of funding per capita doesn't change. It's just the number of people times a factor to equal the amount of money that would be distributed to that particular community.
