Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the landlord may be prepared to pay a good part of the expenditures. As I said, this special warrant was passed on August 22nd. There were no negotiations with any landlord at that point in time. So when FMB passed this, there was no way of knowing whether or not that was going to happen, so it doesn't really matter to this decision when it was passed as to whether or not a landlord is prepared to pay. If we can get the landlord to pay for it, then that's great, because it means that we don't have to take the money out of the government coffers; we've managed to save money instead of spending it.
