There was a lot of things that aligned in terms of this project coming to fruition. The Post-Secondary Institute Strategic Investment Fund, they put out a call for the amount of I think $3 billion, and we took the opportunity to see if we could access that funding. On this specific project, it is a 60/40 split, we're covering off 60 per cent of the program. In terms of the heavy equipment project itself in Fort Smith, they already run a program. This funding will help upgrade the garage for both practical work as well as in-classroom instruction. Also with our Skills 4 Success Action Plan, when you look at the jobs that are outlined in that as well as our labour market needs assessment, that a lot of it is heavy equipment operating. So that's the investment that we made. We took an opportunity when we saw the federal dollars that had come out and we were very lucky to be successful in getting those dollars from the federal government. Thank you.
