Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 246, that is where we record the grants to the community, and the number of 1,480 is what we give the community, but there are also incremental costs there for travel and some other offset costs that raise it to $1.5 million. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I think we're possibly, possibly, closer than ever to maybe securing some funding from the federal government on this initiative through the National Trades and Corridor fund.
