The $142,000 is the incremental funding that we’re getting this year. We already would have had $256,000 in the base, so the two make about $400,000 that we have in the Building Canada Plan for research and development related to climate change. We have a number of projects that are underway already that will get funded from that including preparation of a climate change adaptation plan, which is the big project that we have. Then there’s a little bit of monitoring, beginning to do some baseline information gathering related to the Inuvik-Tuk highway. We want to get a good baseline of information on that so that if that project does go ahead we can monitor. Then, of course, we’re also involved with some other initiatives that are national level including a couple of networks of expertise.
