Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Member is right; there is going to be a requirement for some people to work with the communities. However, at this point and in this budget, we have not included any positions to increase staff positions to collect the taxes or anything. Those positions are already in place. We're not going to be requiring the communities to collect the tax on their own for some time yet. We will be talking to the communities to see what is going to be needed in terms of resources over this next year. We still have a lot of consultation to do with the communities in terms of what's required and what's needed. I'm sure at some point we may see something, but it's not in this budget for any additional positions for tax collection, because those positions are already in place. We do it now and we do the assessments now, so there's no requirement for it. Thank you.
