Thank you, Mr. Chair. If we completed capital expenditures of that much within the next couple of years, does that really mean that we will be freeing up some capital dollars for the regions? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe that the capital costs will be spread out over nearly five years, so it wouldn't be $41 million over a couple of years. There was nothing that was cut from the capital plan in order to put this in this year. In fact, there was a significant increase to the capital plan. A lot of it went to education facilities but, because we are running a surplus in this budget of nearly $49 million, that allows us to increase our investment in capital, because we typically finance 50 percent of our capital from borrowings and 50 percent from money that we have in the surplus.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is about $1.5 million, I believe. Sorry, it is $1.092 million. It is almost $1.1 million. It would be basically the plans. We would hope to be ready to the point where we would be very close to going out to tender on the project.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a clarification on this national justice issues, $9,000. Is that from the federal government? Can I get a little explanation on working towards improving the Canadian justice system?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is a number of small grants to organizations of $1,000 or $2,000 to a number of different organizations or judges to go to conferences. There is not one group that gets it, but it is spread out.
