Thank you. I have a question regarding these dollars and I wanted to also point out that in the highway strategy, it refers to the Mackenzie Valley winter road and bridges. There is a statement in there that indicates that no dollars would be spent on this project until there is a commitment from federal dollars. However, we got this document a week ago and already in there we had budgeted the sum of $970,000. I am just curious if it is worked out. I am not sure if the Minister had the foresight that we did not have and knew that it was coming, but I want to ask the Minister if he knew, how long has he known that the federal government had committed the $3 million plus towards the bridges in that region?
