I’d like to thank the Minister for that. We also realize that in order for projects to get on the agenda for the Building Canada Fund, they have to be at a certain stage of assessment and validation in looking at the capital costs of those projects. So that’s the challenge a lot of our smaller communities have with our projects. We don’t have the ability to access the Department of Transportation or Public Works or infrastructure departments to assist us in compiling that information so that we can make the list, so I think that’s the challenge we’re facing. Also, out of the Building Canada Fund there was some $500,000 listed for research and development. I’d like to ask the Minister: do you have any idea of how that $500,000 is going to be expended by way of research and development? What projects are being expended for that $500,000 that had been mentioned?
