Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The mayors realized that if they were to get block funded in each individual little community in the region, for instance, Whale Cove would have to hire their own engineer. Then Coral Harbour would have to hire their own engineer. This way they are not duplicating services and quite possibly sharing the resources of specialized people. That is why it is a more efficient way of doing business and, for instance, one of the comments that was made in one of the meetings is when a building is being built, for instance, an arena; a person reviews that piece of paper. Another person in another community may be hired to do the same thing all over again. So we are paying probably $30,000 to do a review for each community when we can cut that cost. If we can share one person amongst the communities, then we are being more efficient. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
