Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Listening to that answer, I would question that for a community to give them as much flexibility as possible then we would vote on it in House. In fact, if we block fund them to a certain amount and give them the flexibility, which I think is a good idea in most cases, but the concern would be coming down to, do we actually know what we are voting on if they have the opportunity to change things after the fact? In the process now, we go through committees where we see the need being justified on whether it is a hospital, a road, a rec centre or a number of other things. We vote based on those things. How would that control, I guess, the final control on the dollar factor of where things go, where do we see that fitting? Is that one of the areas of concern?
