Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The was no firm commitment made to that. It wasn't part of the deal that was signed off. I believe there was an understanding and an undertaking by the department that in the future, the facility would need to be renovated. It was in the previous five-year plan that I referred to and there was definitely an indication that funds would be made available. I don't know that we have said they aren't available; but given the magnitude of the change in what is available for the whole community and the need for us to take a look at how capital dollars are now being spent, it may be in the best interests of the community to reconsider all the options. The timing for the delivery of those funds is significantly delayed, if that remains one of the priorities of the board.
