Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To a large extent, this money is being provided to the communities for them to set priorities with, as opposed to the government dictating how they should spend it. I know in a number of communities that money may be used to keep facilities open longer or to reduce the costs that they might have to charge people to use facilities. Other communities may use the money to offset particular programs that they want to run within that community. Some may use it to do improvements to facilities that they now have. We are not stipulating that they have to use it for one use or another. We want to make sure that the communities themselves have a very high level of involvement in setting those priorities. Thank you.
