I think the asset management planning is absolutely critical because it's requiring the municipality to take a long-term view of their municipality and their needs and their vision for their own community. Then they would plan a road map, figuratively speaking, about what assets they need to put in place. These pieces all fit together. The municipality can invest with much more confidence if they know the next piece is coming because a lot of these things are interrelated. Population growth is going to create more traffic, which requires more roads, more public transit, more bike lanes, what have you. It might require more intensification. These in turn impact on water and sewage system demands, power grids, and so forth.
