Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to suggest that this would actually save money, because here is where you are going to get the money for the new residence. You are going to sell the existing residence. So, let us say you are going to get between $300,000 and $400,000 for that. You are going to save the $200,000 for the renovations. Now we are up to $600,000. You already own the land where it could be built, which is probably worth at least another $100,000. It is a large lot on the corner of Matonabee Street and Gitzel Street, I believe. So now, how much rent are you going to pay over the course of the next five or ten years? Add that all together and you are probably talking $1 million that you already have into this. I am just saying, would that be more advantageous an expenditure than spending $200,000 on somebody else's building and then paying the rent on top of that. I am saying you are already in for $1 million. Thank you.
