Well, I think it's a strategic investment in the prosperity agenda for the federal government.
Second, when we acquired our property for the McMaster Innovation Park, 37 acres of a former industrial site, we received a $10 million grant from the Province of Ontario and a $5 million grant from the City of Hamilton in support of that project, but we acquired it too late to participate in the federal program to support research and innovation parks. We are asking for a federal grant for much-needed infrastructure investment to match the provincial grant of $10 million that we received a few years ago. We did have this as one of the priorities on our knowledge infrastructure program list, but since the province had already contributed its $10 million, it didn't, I think, qualify for the joint nature of the program.
We think it's a good investment for the federal government, particularly given the economic circumstances in which Hamilton finds itself and the great expectations of the city and of our community for the future activity on the innovation park as a catalyst of economic revitalization of our area.
