Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, the MLA is correct in some respects. We know that there's a direct link between the capital that community governments construct and the O and M required to operate that capital. The MLA's example of a new pool is a good one. There's a lot of new infrastructure in many community governments.

We do take into account the capital that's on the ground in terms of our O and M, in doing our O and M calculations. We have a budget for operations and maintenance for water and sewer, and we do come forward during the annual main estimates process, business planning process. As communities build more capital or they change their capital, it does have a corresponding impact on our O and M as well as the water-sewer funding policy. So we do those calculations internally in the department, consult with NWTAC if required, and then come forward during the annual capital planning process if there is any adjustments required. Thank you.
