From the transcript
We pay for project managers and engineers and people to build asset, which is the same kind of cost of operating the capital asset if the asset has an operational component. The question becomes, do you want to bond to pay for this ambulance, and do you want to levy to pay for the service to drive the ambulance? Because if we ask the asset question, we do not have the staff or the funding to make it work.
