Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in relation to the federal news release and the amount of funding they gave towards joint emergency preparedness program recently, Mr. Speaker, that funding is actually under an agreement we have with the federal government for funding emergency preparedness program activities. In this particular case, this contribution from the federal government was actually committed in 2000-2001, but the federal government takes credit for their contributions a number of times. When they announce a program, they take credit for it and then when they actually issue the cheque, they take more credit for it. This cheque that they are talking about is for activities that this government did on their behalf in 2000-2001, but we don't receive funding from them for this until they go through our audited books. Then they announce it. So this activity is two years old and it was for the purpose of an emergency preparedness office position and we didn't get the full funding for that because we didn't have the position forwarded that year, we just got a portion of it. A portion of that funding is for $7,200 for an emergency radio for Enterprise. Thank you.
