Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we had a lower uptake in the LCELF. So the department, you know, worked with our federal funding counterparts to be able to arrange some changes to how we can utilize this program a bit more.
The agreement caps contributions to 25 percent for businesses and individuals and 75 percent for governments. So we know that from experience that 25 percent is not good enough to incent GHG reduction initiatives here in the North, and as well as communities that are accessing federal funding.
If I can, maybe just get Mr. Jenkins to speak a little more about that, because I saw that on the line as well and that was a big flag for me. So I mean, we as a government we're able to work with our federal counterparts to be able to ensure that going forward we're able to make use of the project funding. Thank you, Madam Chair.
