Madam Chair, if I heard the Member correctly, he asked me if their funding would increase or decrease from village status versus hamlet status. If that's the case, it will vary. We have a formula in place. A hamlet is based on a number of factors that is taken into consideration, but on the capital acquisition side, that's done through our department. If you go back to the village status, the funding formula is a little higher, but they also raise their own property tax so they can undertake their own capital acquisitions. So if you create on the capital side, I think it will increase if they are on hamlet status. It's more in control of the department and the municipality. But in terms of the formula funding, it would decrease a little but the support to assist if they were hamlet status would be there because our staff would be assisting them on a regular basis. Thank you.
