Yes, Madam Chair, the intent is to try to create a criteria that will allow some of the smaller communities that are in need of systems to help the elderly or some of the disabled people to come to and from medical services or other facilities. We are also including community vans. Madam Chair, we are running all this through the Association of Communities. They have approved our process and we are negotiating directly with the federal government. It's an agreement we have to sign with them. We should be in a position to do that right shortly. I think we have dealt with all the issues that we had to iron out and are ready to sign an agreement fairly shortly, in the next little while.
