Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I know the department, well, is reviewing the three policies and, you know, I eventually understand we will update them. I get the kind of scale of that task and getting into the weeds of hundreds of millions of dollars and billions of dollars worth of infrastructure. But I'm just wondering as part of that work whether there is any desire to bring any of this into regulation or to bring it into contract with municipalities. I think there is a bit of a -- I get that we don't want to bind future Assemblies but the way that municipal -- or that school funding formula, as a contrast, works is much more predictable. And it's set out in regulation and we -- without -- we know -- the DEAs know what they're going to get. And I think since we've come up with these new funding formulas, it's been a bit of a question mark about how and if we are ever going to close this gap. And if the reality is that that we're just never going to close it, then I think we need to tell communities that because capital planning takes 30 years and they have to decide whether to pave roads or whether to switch to trucked water or whether -- you know, to make very large decisions. To stop building recreational infrastructure.
So I'm just wondering if as part of we -- can we -- what is the timeline on reviewing all of these policies and whether there's an effort to give it some predictability of what this looks like going forward? Thank you, Madam Chair.
