Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have questions for the Minister of ECC, and I -- who I endearly used to call him the Maytag man, waiting for questions ever so patiently and loyally. My questions will be about the financing for the PFP project.

This House had to pass this legislation immediately in November with great fervency and zeal, and there's a lot of talk out there about this $375 million not being passed on to our stewards who wanted this money to, you know, take care of the North. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister give this House an update where has that agreement gone, when can the Northerners expect the money, and when can we see some action on the ground? Thank you.
