Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, on a day-to-day basis we have set program criteria we have established. Taxes and the work that's done is a matter of making sure when the federal government sends us the amount after they've done their collection and done their tallies to confirm with our side is to look at, again, we'll look at our own-source revenues and a lot of them are established here when you talk about tobacco taxes, liquor, liquor mark-ups, or, for example, fuel tax. All of those pieces, they're established and already in the process. So we have people there doing that and they're very specific to their area. We don't have people stepping back and looking at the big picture over government how are we spending this money and if we establish or increase taxes in a certain area what impact will that have and what is the potential downturn of that. We do when required and if the request comes up today, if that direction is given to us, within Finance we would end up hiring someone outside our shop to do some of this work to help us with it. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
