I thank Senator Ruston for her question. As we previously pointed out, your government committed all of that money but never spent a zack of it in all of the time that you were in government. We've made a commitment, and Minister Rishworth has made a commitment, that we will spend that roughly $50 million. We will be talking to the communities where the money is going to be spent, and I can assure you that we will be rolling out the assistance that that money will provide as quickly as we can.
