Madam Chair, the whole idea behind this concept of waiving the BIP was to get the cheapest rates possible. We are not eliminating the people who are interested in providing these units. The process is open. There is a lot of interest. I don't think putting the BIP back into this will serve the purpose we are trying to achieve by removing any potential increased costs. It may put us in a position where we are not able to do this whole thing, it's not something I can say with complete confidence at this point. But I think we have to realize that this is, from our standpoint, the cheapest way to move forward and provide units to the communities.
