Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the money comes with a criteria attached to it. There is a requirement for these dollars to be directed towards a number of projects in the area, which are considered green projects, sustainable projects and those are mainly and mostly in the area of water and waste water. However, there are other things that can fit under the criteria. There is an allocation or an allowance for roads and bridges and other community infrastructure through this project funding. So we have not gone and decided which projects will be allocated, but there is money allocated for the tax-based and the non-tax-based and the criteria will be decided by the committee in the very near future.
