Thank you, Madam Chair. So on the capital budget, the $29 million that you see in the draft capital estimates, that has previously -- that was increased just a couple years ago. Previously, it was $28 million. We do not apply a forced growth factor or any sort of calculations. That's a standard figure that appears in the main estimates every year. And it's on the O and M and the operations and maintenance and the water and sewage side where we recognize the costs to community governments of operating their capital. And that's where we do any forced growth changes, things like, you know, increased cost of fuel or power or, you know, higher costs to hire staff and other operating costs experienced by community governments. That's where those are captured. Thank you.
