Mr. Chairman, in this case, as I said before, there was basically an urgency and an impending emergency where people would not be able to get access to the sewage lagoon, a road that is required for municipal services. To not provide it in this case would have created that emergency. If the issues the Member is referring to were of the same nature, then we would treat them exactly the same way. I do not know the need for stockpiling gravel or the extra $40,000 on the bridge, or whether those could be classified in the same way. Were they going to stop some required service? I do not know. I can assure you that we treat all the communities with the same priority. Thank you.
