Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The practice of informing communities of our estimates is something that was accepted by the community, the Association of Communities. They all recognized that their estimates, if we were not able to provide them in a form of draft estimates, then we would not be able to share that information. This is a year that things have changed from the normal practice because this is the year we reviewed our water and sewer program, we reviewed
our operations and maintenance. We, for the first time, have provided capital to the tax-based communities, there's now ample funding, there's gas tax. All these things change and there's no way we can provide a solid number a year in advance, Mr. Speaker. Either we do it through this practice of providing estimates, or we don't do it at all and communities would have to wait until the actual budget has passed. The communities have all voiced over the years that they need working numbers and this is the best process we have. Thank you.
