Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is quite right; there are a number of different components to this whole initiative that we have to work out over the next while. The issue of property taxes being transferred or reverted to the communities in terms of a grant is something that we plan to do in this next fiscal year. We are not planning to change how we collect those fees at this point. The Department of Finance will continue to collect them and we will provide those monies to the communities that they're collected in, in the form of a grant. So we're planning to use our own forces, our own resources that we currently use today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
