Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Underneath the Build Canada Plan, it’s a total of $185 million for the GNWT. We’ve allocated 1 percent of that funding over seven years, so the annual contribution underneath the Build Canada Plan is $264,000. It is generally earmarked for research and development related to climate change. We have a number of different projects that have been done underneath that already, including Aklavik gravel access road study, including some engineering assessments, vulnerability assessments on Highway No. 3, and we will continue to develop additional research, additional programs, as we move forward with the details. There is much happening in the area of infrastructure and climate change impact, so the funding here is not formally earmarked for any specific project yet, but as we continue to gather information, we will determine what the best plan is for the funding. Thank you.
