Madam Chair, we will provide that information, but I can say that obviously we have a higher crime rate than most, if not all, jurisdictions in the country. There are, of course, also, the same as there would be in our education system, economies of scale. When you have a smaller population and you have to build facilities and are up against some overheads that you have to make an investment in, it's easier if you can build on balancing larger facilities throughout your jurisdiction to take advantage of those economies. We aren't in that position. So I think that we'll probably find when we do that comparator, that we are spending more money in these areas. Thank you, Madam Chair.
