First of all, I'd like to emphasize that it's a partnership between the University of Victoria and the province, particularly with regard to the operational funding for the program. We have been in a large number of meetings in Ottawa with Finance Canada, with Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, exploring options for how the budget line would actually be created. We would like to have a separate budget line in the budget.
The total cost of the lodge and its first five years of programming is roughly $30 million. The proposal that we have submitted to Finance Canada and to your committee is for slightly over $18 million. We're working with the private sector and the philanthropic community to obtain the remainder of the funds.
