Thank you. So ERI has funded different projects at different times. And the way that the ERI money was found, I think is the reason that there might be some ups and some downs there. It is related to this contribution to schools, and the -- we have to approximate that amount. And so we were to approximate amount -- an amount that would be slightly higher than what the schools would end up receiving, and that little gap there is what we would traditionally use for ERI. So it was money that was already appropriated to the education system and we would use it to sort of fund some of these innovative ideas to help advance the education system. And so, you know, in different years, those numbers were different and we did what we could with it. And from there, we have grown successful projects that have then gone on to, you know, be funded on their own. Things like northern distance learning and a number of other projects, so. Thank you.
