Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes. The NTAI funding was a two-year program funded by Transport Canada, and it was for work along the ITH. Part of that funding was for the University of Manitoba. Again, that was a two-year agreement with them, similar to the two-year funding that we had. They have not been provided their report yet. I think it is actually due by the middle of March, I will say. We have to report on it by March 31st, so I will know within the next month. The other part of that funding, though, is we are doing some other work with the NTGS, the Northwest Territories Geological Survey, and they also provide a report to us, as well, along the other parts of the highway. The University of Manitoba set up a test section during the construction of the ITH, and they have been studying that section since the highway started construction eight years ago, I will say. The NTAI has not put out a call for additional funding, but we are hopeful that they will come back out for more funding because we do want to continue to study the impacts that they are having on the embankment, especially the University of Manitoba under the section that the Member is aware of. Thank you, Madam Chair.
