Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, of the $38 million that was identified as a shortfall, $23 million of that was actually capital and $15 million was O and M. With the money we've put in, the O and M has actually come down to about $13.9 million. The money we received from the federal government certainly helps us address some of the capital issues, and then our CPI funding that we provide to the communities has been at $28,002,000 for a long time. I can't remember how long it's been. Since 2007. We've been fortunate that we've been able to access a lot of federal money. Then with the new federal government, we're looking forward to accessing more of that money to help address some of the shortfall.
If there are opportunities for us to make some adjustments where we can start trying to identify -- or work with the communities to address their shortfall. It's something we'll have a look at. We have to make sure we're very careful in where we're getting the money from. Ideally, at the end of the day we'd like to see some savings through the process that we're going through so that we can, in a couple of years, start to address them. Next year, we'll help the communities. We may increase it again due to forced growth. At the end of the day our goal is to have the funding shortfall addressed and, once we're in a better financial position, I think this government is going to be able to do that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
