The federal government, in the cases of Quebec and B.C., I believe, has already come into a matching place through the OTP recommendations on some other projects. The Province of B.C. has stepped up with money to invest in high-performance sport at the level I just spoke of. The encouragement for this, the impetus, has been through some OTP carrots to a certain extent. B.C. stepped up, OTP matched it, and the programs came to life. Quebec has always been leading in the area of education with the sport-études program and that school-level, provincial-level athlete support, and investment. If that could occur in more provinces, that would significantly help our pool of talent.
