I cannot confirm whether the Minister of RWED approved or not. I am saying to you as the Finance Minister, I was active in the process of trying to find the additional dollars required on a one-time basis to help the city that is currently under economic siege and has taken these large hits as it relates to the Deficit Elimination Strategy, as it relates to the division of 150 people of which Mr. O'Brien and others, will reap the rewards from in the decentralized government. I was involved in providing assistance to the city and RWED was the mechanism in which we transferred the money through. Thank you.
