Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The agreement, as laid out some time ago, sees three partners to the funding: three NGOs, the federal government and the GNWT. The three NGOs are WWF, Canada Parks and Wilderness Society, and Ducks Unlimited. Their commitment is for $5.9 million. RWED has committed that we would try to seek $1.5 million over five years, but that was contingent on the federal government stepping to the plate with their contribution, which is the lion's share of the funding. As I've said, we don't have that commitment yet, but we are working to see what kinds of pieces of this agreement we can fund until that commitment is realized. Thank you.
