Thank you, Mr. Kariya and Mr. Bachrach. You took up the time with a great answer there.
Before I move to adjourn, I want to give Mr. Smith an opportunity to clarify one thing based on the great answer he gave earlier. That was about sustainable funding, the gas tax, etc. We very much respect this process, because a lot of this testimony finds its way to the analysts, and of course, they come back with a report based on testimony. With that said, I want to give Mr. Smith an opportunity to get that testimony into the record.
Mr. Smith, you mentioned earlier sustainable funding. My question to you is this: If the amounts were to increase, for the gas tax, for example, and the municipalities were then able to have that sustainable funding envelope in place—with that said and debenture opportunities then becoming more relevant because you have that sustainable funding envelope that can offset that annual debenture payment on your operating budget—do you think that would, in fact, mitigate the oversubscription of the programs that we are actually offering as well as expedite infrastructure work?
