Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, not necessarily. So there certainly are, you know, standard periods of time on any piece of infrastructure or equipment that would suggest, you know, an ideal window within which you would replace or repair or renovate and, you know, any sort of deferred maintenance across the entire government spectrum has those built in. But by not doing it, you may be increasing the risk of a future -- increasing the risk that the equipment or the asset can become unused or less useable or less efficient, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that it is in that situation. So obviously when the decisions are being made as to exactly what projects or what planning studies or what research to delay or should be delayed or just may frankly be delayed, that would be the ones that we would want to take money out of, whether it's, again, any infrastructure or situation would be the same, NTPC being no different than that. There's always a balance that's every year done around -- out of the pool of funding available for any given year for maintenance, what areas have the greatest risk and need and those ones get priorities, and maybe others that are ready to go in terms of timing that just have to be delayed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
