Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think part of the problem is, with the town...Let's focus on Hay River. Part of the problem with Hay River is they're refusing to take the capital out of the water and sewer program. They still have a budget line that is dedicated to capital. If they took that out and put it under capital, the dollars would balance out. Mr. Speaker, we make special consideration for a number of communities when we looked at the budget and there's a variable component to this when we start looking at trucked water and the distance that they have to haul. Fort McPherson is in that situation, Hay River's in that situation. Behchoko, for example, has two water plants. We have to take that under consideration. We made allowance for those things, Mr. Speaker.
