Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, getting that kind of certainty and recognition of our ongoing costs are two very critical criteria for us. I would point out, as well, that there are other jurisdictions that have refused to administer these programs, and the federal government is left with the responsibility of setting up the infrastructure to administer this program on their own, and deal with all the costs and aggravation that the program entails. It's not a step that we're recommending be taken at this point, but that is an option for us should we reach a point where these programs are unaffordable to us. Thank you.
