I think it is important to point out that I did miss one small, minor detail, and that is the capital plan. It really has to be built around the fiscal resources we give to it which I determine as the Finance Minister based on the overall budget. That is an important issue. Capital plan has gone from we talked about it for some time now - $180 million to $200 million to $130 million. There is a great deal more pressure on the capital plan than there was in previous years because everybody wants everything, et cetera. Changes in the capital plan are done, as my colleague is suggesting, significant shifts in capital money within the capital plan? Maybe I can get some clarity on that and I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, if I may, that you would not penalize my colleague with respect to questions. If I could have a little more clarity on what he means exactly. If he means significant capital shifts or does he mean emergencies or burned down schools? What exactly does he mean?
