Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, actually, quite fortunately I'm pleased to have that question. I'm actually really glad to have that question. We certainly don't want members of the public to be out and concerned. So I can say that right initially -- again, as I said earlier, it was within two days there was engineers on site doing a full site assessment and they did testing on site. They also then pulled the piece that was damaged, did further testing on that piece. But what they've done since is they've actually went back and looked at all 23 other remaining connecters, and they've done that over the course of some time. So there was tests that were done in August, then again in November, again in March of this year, July of this year, and at every point in time there's been no concerns noted. If anything, the decision to replace all 24 was done as a precaution. The insurance company has not requested that. No one's requested that of us. But it's being done as a precaution simply based on the fact that it was a metallurgical failure and knowing that that came all from the same batch. There wanted to be no uncertainty obviously given the impacts and the need for a high degree of safety here. But they've been -- all those tests have come back clean, and no other indications that there's any problems whatsoever. Nevertheless, the entire thing will get replaced. Thank you
