Thanks very much. The Minister had offered full disclosure here in some manner, of course, and those are my words, not his exactly, but would the Minister give a detailed breakdown of the $10 million, how it’s being spent in this regard. I had spoken quite at length, so I don’t need to repeat all my questions. Thank you.
