Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What we're talking with the federal government about, in other jurisdictions it hasn't been totally specified how the money will be spent. It's been left up to the jurisdiction, as long as it's meeting certain principles. That's the same sort of deal that we're looking for here, too, one which would allow us to spend the money that we get from the federal government, according to the principles that are set in the program, but as they are needed in the Northwest Territories. At this point, we haven't looked at providing facilities, but it would be something that we could take a look at. However, the amount of money we're talking about, even if we get the base funding that we're hoping to see, would mean that it would be very limited in terms of what we could do for facility contributions.
