Mr. Chairman, as I have mentioned before, the federal government has been clear with us. They are not going to give us a cheque for $230 million. Rather, they will fund these things project by project. I expect we will continue to receive support from the federal government, whether it is in training, infrastructure support, or wherever it may be. It will come in small pieces. At that time, we may be expected to cost-share in it. Some will come to us directly. Some will come to us through aboriginal corporations, aboriginal governments. It is very difficult, as I said earlier, to predict exactly when and how much we are going to be expected to contribute. Hopefully, it will continue to come to us over the next number of years as oil and gas develops.
