Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to this evaluation monitoring, how often do you go into the communities to do this? Is it annually or basically do you do it every six months? Especially coming from the smaller communities where your population is growing by leaps and bounds, but basically your infrastructure is not keeping up to it, you have to build in these factors. A lot of times you just try to keep piecemealing what you have got and upgrading by sections. I think at the end of the day, when you have new people coming into the council and what not, they do not really have an understanding of exactly how the formula works, how money is allocated or how you get your dollars. O and M for the communities is based on telephone poles, culverts, the number of roads and street lights you have in your communities. I think a lot of them do not understand that and they have to realize that the more infrastructure you have in your community the more money you get. Some communities have given up a lot of this infrastructure in the last number of years because of the situation we have found ourselves in, they have lost out. Other communities were able to get all this stuff in their communities before these cuts took place. There is a real imbalance there. How often do they have those evaluations in those communities and do they walk the new councillors through to ensure they have an understanding of how this formula works?
