Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The department has been working with that particular community for over a year now, since the reduction done to the formula was known, to develop a sound capital planning system and to make budget reductions. In fact, the community had to demonstrate they could balance their budget before this particular item could even be considered and brought forward. They had to be able to balance their budget as part of that process and show us what their approved budget for the year was. As well, we monitor their expenditures on an ongoing quarterly basis.
