Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Indeed it does flow from the economic action plan as one of the activities. This $230,000 item is really a net amount. The actual amount that we're putting forward in an accelerated manner amounts to about $2.2 million. The economic action plan did accelerate work in this whole area of contaminated sites, but we had already been receiving funding to do work on contaminated sites for a few years previously.
As the minister mentioned in his opening address, we had an estimate for reductions to work in some areas, so the $230,000 is the net amount going towards this fiscal year.
