Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are still eligible for $4.7 million. This is a four-year program. We have done all the work like every other jurisdiction and the federal government, as my colleague pointed out, has yet to cut the cheque. There was talk of wanting to do an announcement with the federal government about all the good things this primary health care transition fund is going to do, but we've declined until they actually show us the money. We have groups and projects all set to go, but no money. I think we are the same as every other jurisdiction. They know what they are going to get, they know what the projects are. The program is there, but for some reason the federal government has moved at a glacial pace on initiating this program.
