Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned before, I would have to bring this to FMB and to AOC first. But, in my thinking what we could do, for example, is take all of your community projects, whether they are municipal works, water and sewage projects, those are clearly community. Recreation facilities, those are clearly community projects. Categorize those; all those projects are community-based. Then take the other things that are territorial and put them into a different category. Then allocate the budget. For example, you could allocate the budget accordingly because there is this much money for community projects; there is this much money for territorial projects. Then, within the community projects category, decide how you are going to allocate that money, and with the territorial one do the same thing there. So you don't have all these projects competing. Because I agree with the report of this committee on small communities. There is a problem when a huge territorial facility is competing for money with a little community project. Maybe we need a different way to categorize it. So that is what I am looking at. Thank you.
