Thanks for the question. This being a brand new program, we needed to establish the parameters around how it would be operated, what its scope would be, and how the guidance would be provided to provinces to ensure that we would have proper oversight and review of the individual programs. As is often the case with new programs, an awful lot of work has gone into the front end in order to set out the parameters, the application process, the review process, and the approvals process. We've been working away on that while consulting with provinces and while receiving projects. A lot of things have been happening in parallel to help speed up this process.
We've been engaging with provinces, receiving proposals, and reviewing those proposals while negotiating contribution agreements simultaneously in order to move those monies as quickly as possible. We now have contribution agreements in place with a couple of provinces, and we have agreements in principle with a number of others. We have sifted through, reviewed, given feedback on, and reviewed again a very long list of projects, and there is quite a pipeline now of projects. Our expectation is that those agreements will be concluded shortly and that the monies will start to flow soon.
