Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I guess I'm wondering if the Minister can provide a little bit more on the needs assessment. I get some of the point of conflict is based on these kind of arguments of well, you can go get, you know, federal money for that, or perhaps you don't need a brand new pool, or you know, things like that. Can the Minister just speak to work we're doing to kind of re-evaluate what proper infrastructure looks like for a community.

I guess in the larger context, this is a very big conversation happening across Canada. Most of our municipalities are in just terrible fiscal situations and have out-built themselves in regards to infrastructure and can't afford to maintain it. Ours are obviously in a similar position.

I'm actually curious what the department's philosophy is. Are we telling, you know, certain communities not to build a certain way; are we providing direction like that? Thank you.
