Thank you, Madam Chair.

On the actual way of voting, I'm not sure why we would be voting $25 million, for example, in the first year if we agreed to adopt accrual accounting and we know that the project costs $100 million. Why wouldn't we vote $100 million in the first year, since that's what the project is going to cost, even though it's only going to cost us $25 million in the first year and $75 million in the second year?
