We've communicated to the industry verbally that we intend to be retroactive to July 12, 2006.

With the way the agreements are set up, we will be allowed to go back that far with our provincial money. So we've communicated to the industry, especially on what we call immediate needs for July 12, and said, go ahead and start building. As long as it's eligible for funding, it will still be eligible, even though you started before the agreement was signed.

So we've communicated that.
