Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are two major ones, including $400,000 for the nursing program and $1.5 million for the teacher education program. The $1 million for the program everyone refers to was based on a cost-sharing arrangement with the federal government. The federal government withdrew their funding so the expenditures and the commitments that were made by this Assembly were based on that arrangement that was made. We don't need that particular commitment at this time. What we are now proceeding with through the investing in people program is to get a new arrangement with the potential of up to $4.5 million with the federal government. Those are resources that we will eventually have to vote and get the approval of this Assembly for.
