Mr. Chairman, that is a good ethical question. In terms of the municipalities themselves, they do govern themselves in terms of setting salary rates under the employment bylaws. We do not interfere with that level of detail. Primarily, we do fund the communities sufficiently to pay their staff equally as well. From my own experience, the municipalities cannot compete with private industry or the private sector because of the salary ranges, but we are trying to make sure the pay levels are compatible. Thank you.
