Mr. Speaker, there seems to be some mixing up of the 20-year needs assessment with our capital plans. We do a five-year capital plan. We do a 20-year needs assessment. The 20-year needs assessment gives us an overview of projects that may be coming along in future years. We do not know for sure what we will need in 18 years or 20 years or 16 years, but that gives us an overview and that helps us build a plan. Everything that appears in a 20-year needs assessment does not necessarily happen. A lot of things can change over a 20-year period. I hope Members do not think the 20-year needs assessment is a 20-year capital plan, otherwise that is a complete error in terms of what that document is meant for. Thank you.
