Through the chair, thank you for the question.
I think there are two aspects of funding. Building on Mr. Ness's comments, we actually need two streams. One is to learn to understand more about where our risks and vulnerabilities are. We're currently conducting inner risk, hazard and vulnerability studies just to be able to expand our knowledge. Once we know what our risks and vulnerabilities are, we can define what kinds of capital changes are needed for whether we retreat or advance or modify infrastructure or upgrade it, so we need that larger pot as well.
In the first few years, we're learning more about where our risks and vulnerabilities lie. We need consistent funding to do those studies. That's really important. The larger capital will come later. The permanent transit fund should hopefully even provide both, but in the interim, we need to get started. We need to understand what our current risk profile is. We've done some very high-level work. We generally know where our risks and vulnerabilities lie; now we need to go to the next levels of detail.
I hope that answers your question.
