We have the service residences, the member choice accommodation and living-in accommodation—for those people on the outside who don't understand that: military members live in the lines. It's actually cheaper for them, usually. Then we have this thing called rental assistance. Rental assistance is usually for those who do not have families, who are pushed outside, off the base, to live in apartments. That is not a DHA thing. However, it will be a government problem if they cannot give me the figures for those using rental assistance at the moment. Because of the influx of foreigners that you're going to bring in and now put in our married quarters, how much more money is coming from the taxpayer? That will cost the taxpayer. If you haven't got them living in lines or in married quarters, the taxpayer picks up that rental assistance. The taxpayer picks up the difference; that's what it does. What do your numbers look like once this is done in 2030?
