Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, like I said, MACA is planning to go into each individual community and work out with the community early in the new year what their capital planning needs are for the next five years. We are planning for that time of the year because it's right after the municipal elections and some of the political needs of the community are addressed right after municipal elections. So it's changed at that time. Their priorities change sometimes as the political people change at the community level. So we go in there and try and get updated information from the community as to what they see as their priority needs. We then take that back to the FMBS and turn that information over to them to deal with in the capital planning process from thereon. We are planning that after FMBS has worked out what we can afford to do, and what can be done, and in what part of the year, we are going to come back to the communities with that information.
