Thank you, Madam Chair. It is a good discussion and I think it certainly allowing us to see that there may be a bigger need out there as we go. Perhaps we should think about this and develop policy area guidelines in this area. The other concern that I think is there is when is this done? Do we do this through the main estimates, so we can keep in control the amount of money that is issued? I guess the other question is, in this particular case, if I heard Mr. Todd correctly, he stated that this particular project was already underway and hence it is here through the supplementary appropriation. Perhaps he could just re-address that for me. I guess the question was, could this not have been addressed at an earlier time or did it just crop up that the municipality decided to take control of this and saw an urgent need for it?
