Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, our proposal was for approximately $25 million over five years. Minister Stewart's funding is $25 million in total for Canada over two years. She said she can only commit for a two-year period and I spoke to her about that and asked, can you look at further funding for the other three years once we start showing some results? She said that she could not commit at that point, but she said the whole thrust of her funding will have to depend upon results. It will be results oriented, accountability for the funding and tracking for the funding and results at the end of the day. So that was of primary interest to Minister Stewart. As I say, I am optimistic that we will get some money. I do not know how much because she was not prepared at that particular table to say the exact amount. Thank you.
