Thank you, Madam Chair. It's a very good point, and it's one of the issues we did encounter when we did the 2014 municipal review. Things like -- there's two or three classes of infrastructure, things like underground pipe, roads, and there's a third that I don't remember. We did have -- you know, we worked with communities to get the information they had but we did have to use approximations to value the costs of those assets. So, you know, and this was, you know, widely communicated when we were doing the 2014 work that for these -- for some of these pieces of infrastructure, the cost -- the replacement costs we were using were just an approximation based on the best data that us and community governments had at the time. You know, we have refined our -- some of our estimates, us and community governments have refined some of our estimates around those pieces of infrastructure and we have better data and we have third party data from academics and research institutions and places like that. So we do have -- and there's also the data that we obtained from the NWT's insurance program on the replacement value of their assets. So I'm sorry, I've also gone on a deep dive on that topic. Thank you, Madam Chair.
