Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it's one thing to deal with the day-to-day operations of the programs and services we have in place that, in this case, Municipal and Community Affairs deals with, with communities and community governments on a whole number of initiatives from day to day. Then we take a $35 million fund and put it out there and are going to be working with every community as well on their interests and giving them support where we can. This puts a substantial strain on the existing staff there. The funding identified here is to help those in the regions meet those commitments. For example, $58,000 of this is to help the regional superintendents and other staff within the regions travel to the communities to deal with the initiative that's going to be undertaken here. Further, $10,000 of that will be used to cover one-time costs for preparation of public information materials and collaboration with the Executive. Forty thousand dollars is for program administration, and that will help Municipal and Community Affairs retain the part-time position casual employee for the period that's required. Thank you.
