Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Moore, and the rest.

In terms of transit and the upcoming P3 transit fund, is there a recognition that transit generally is not sustainable? It doesn't fund itself. It requires a municipal subsidy to continue. How will that work with a profit motive on a P3? For example, with the York Region bus system, the province entered into a P3. The provider provides it. It is a four-dollar fare, but the province gives the provider five dollars per rider to subsidize that bus. Is that what we are anticipating with the P3 system that is coming up?
