To date, with the disaster mitigation and adaptation fund run by Infrastructure Canada, natural infrastructure is eligible in that program. Unfortunately, the threshold for the program is such that it's quite high. The minimum threshold is $20 million, so you can't apply only for a natural infrastructure project. It's just too high for it, as well as from a cost matching perspective. However, we understand that in the first tranche of applications made to that program, about 30% of them did have a natural infrastructure component, so the demand is essentially there.
We're recommending that there be tweaks made to that program so that very innovative programs such as the ALUS program, which is basically a landowner compensation program, can be made eligible. Much of this natural infrastructure is not on public lands; it's on private lands, so we need to figure out innovatively how we incent people to protect that.
We're recommending that tweaks be made to that. We're recommending that the program be expanded because it's a success, but also that tweaks be made to it, and those conversation have been had with officials at Infrastructure Canada.
