The Department of MACA is providing the town with funding so they can hire a program manager. The town has also engaged a consultant to convert to synthetic natural gas. As a government, based on our experience and working with the town of Inuvik, we think it's getting late into the game. There's less than a year before the residents will no longer have natural gas. The expectation is that the residents will be able to use their existing facilities to use synthetic natural gas, but there is some preparation that's needed that we experienced in Inuvik, so we are going to work with them to make sure that they're aware of the experiences that we had in Inuvik so that they can take that into consideration.
