Thank you, Mr. Chair. In terms of the IT infrastructure, the answer to the question is, no, we're not accumulating a debt or a backlog. There's a bit of a cyclic nature to the infrastructure needs. For example, this 1.4 million or the funding that we've identified for 2017-2018 is for things like server infrastructure in the data centre, network infrastructure, and storage infrastructure, and some of that infrastructure has a five-year life cycle, some of it may have a three or four-year life cycle, so it depends where we are in the life cycle of our whole compliment of IT infrastructure in terms of how much we actually need in any one given year. It just happens that there's a little less required this fiscal year that's in 2017-2018, but that's not necessarily indicative of future years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So just to be really clear and on the record then, we're not postponing any of this replacement to save a few dollars now that are going to come back and haunt us in the future? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The answer is no. When we replace this infrastructure, we will keep it for a couple more years as back up and we will redeploy it if we need to, but no we don’t feel that we're deferring any urgent IT needs in this plan. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
