Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could I get clarification with regard to the $100,000? Was that because of the contract that was let to complete the work with regard to the water treatment facility in the community? Could you give me a breakdown of what that $100,000 is for?

Mr. Chairman, the $100,000 was not related to the contract the Member is referring to at all. It is made up of two things. One is the increased cost of the water delivery truck and also additional cost for realignment of the road to the filling station. Thank you.
