Well, we don't have any comfort, and we don't have any comfort with this particular idea, as we don't have comfort with a lot of what we think might be there, because we haven't seen it. We are aware that in other jurisdictions—I think I referenced the remarks of France—they have done the experimental foray into privatization of water supplies, have found it to be lacking, and have tried to go back. They have had some success, but it's a very complicated matter to try to undo an agreement when it has been entrenched in the establishment of providing something as essential as water.
So for Victoria, it is one of the most significant concerns, because it's a very proactive community. It's a very eclectic council, I should say. It's not at all reflective of any particular viewpoint, so it was a surprise to me that this particular resolution passed unanimously. It's because of the fact that there is such anxiety around two things in particular. One is the whole procurement strategy issue, with all of the attendant details, but the other is the very significant risk that the city council saw to the provision of an essential service, which we see water as being. We've been proactive in trying to make sure that it remains public indefinitely and we'll resist really every effort to try to privatize that.
As an aside, I want to mention that it isn't just about water, but about water as a resource. The Capital Regional District, as you're well aware, is embarking currently on a very massive sewage treatment plant at the direction of the federal government, and the provincial government as well, and is abiding by the rules set out by both of those larger governments. There is a high degree of anxiety at that table. One of the reasons driving that project forward as quickly as it's going, despite some resistance from the local community, is the notion that it is such a big project that it could in fact and would in fact fall under the terms of an agreement like this.
So there isn't just water from the perspective of consuming water, but water from the perspective of a resource that you may use for other things once it's treated. There are many aspects of anxiety around water.
