Thank you, Mr. Chair. When we were transitioning the Deh Cho Bridge project from a project working with the local community, with the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation, to taking it over, to becoming a DOT matters project, one of the things we had to do was negotiate with the community to terminate the arrangement that we had with them. One of the things we did was enter into this agreement with the community that we would provide them $200,000 for -- it was 35 years at that time, which would have been the life of the concession agreement that we were planning to enter into with the bridge corporation. Instead of that, we are giving them a contribution of $200,000 over that period of time, and it is to promote economic development, find community-related opportunities that are related to the bridge. Essentially, to do the same thing, same type of benefit that the community would have got if they had been able to continue on with the involvement with the Deh Cho Bridge project itself. Thank you, Mr. Chair
