That's exactly true. I'll speak of my first nation because we got a $6 million water treatment facility. My question to the federal government was, why invest that kind of money if it's not feasible to even run it and maintain it? Even with the ability to hire somebody to run it, that's a $75,000 to $80,000 cost these days. When we train somebody, they get scooped up and have to go and work somewhere else because they're willing to pay them that cost.
