Thank you, Madam Chair. So 9-1-1 was established in the 2019-2020 fiscal year, and it was not a full year of operation. So the first full year of operation of 9-1-1 was 2021 and what we're -- what you see in the budget is the 2021-2022 actuals. So our first couple years of operation, the actuals did exceed the budget because all costs weren't known. And then in the 2022-2023 Main Estimates, we had an additional $500,000 on a one-time basis to help with some -- fund some relief positions. But now in 2023-2024, we're showing the $1.3 million budget. That is what we estimate that we actually require going forward now that all those sort of one-time startup costs that we experienced in the first couple years that weren't -- that weren't budgeted for but we actually ended up paying. Now that those have stabilized, we're at the $1.274 million budget range. And the levy has not changed and we're currently doing -- on the revenue side, and we're currently doing work to examine whether or not we actually need to change that levy amount. Thank you.
