Mr. Jim Baneham:

I was directly involved in 2018 and I drafted that report. From memory, 37 sites were determined as not developable in the near term. At that point in time, it was fairly clear that we had sites that would not be developed in the short term and there were other sites that we knew were pretty good. As things panned out, a small number of the sites that we thought would not be developed have become developable. However, the vast majority have not. One or two that we assessed as developable in the nearer term have not quite panned out, usually for infrastructure issues.
