Ms. Bourgeois, if you will allow me, I would like to add something. I agree with my colleague Mr. Généreux, but still, an investment of $5 million in Toronto or Calgary is one thing. An investment of $5 million in Saint-Prime or Chelsea or St. Mary's, Newfoundland, is another thing; it is a major project. It takes time for us in small and medium-sized municipalities to get together the resources to do studies, prepare tender documents and make sure everything is working. It takes a little more time in small municipalities than in bigger ones. That is one of the major distinctions between rural Canada and urban Canada.
