Thanks, Madam Chair. I guess I'll try to find a diplomatic way to say this. When I ask a political question, I'd like to get a political answer from the Minister. I appreciate that her staff work very hard. I appreciate all the work that they do, but that was really more of a political question. I'm worried though. With inflation and so on, we're probably still losing ground at this rate. If we could only get an increase of $5 million in the gap by the end of this Assembly, I think we may still be losing ground. I'm already on the public record saying I'm going to find it very difficult to support the capital estimates without an increase in funding to our community governments. That's a political statement. I don't expect an answer. We just can't continue to underfund our community governments and expect that our residents are going to have the quality of life that people deserve. Not quite sure what else I can say at this point, Madam Chair. Cabinet needs to find more money to put into the capital estimates to support our community governments. Thanks, Madam Chair.
