I would say that's not the case right now. There were some very good and rather recent investments in the Great Lakes, including an investment of $44.9 million over five years for the commission. Additionally, during the president's visit, a major investment of $420 million, I believe, was announced for the Great Lakes for activities jointly carried out by the two governments. Those are substantial investments. Now, it's up to us to invest this money collaboratively and to identify what are truly the top priorities.
