The concrete result is that without vote 35 or the other initiatives we put forward to move the funding ahead, nothing would be done until next year. So anything that is happening in this year is happening as a direct result of the initiatives that the Treasury Board put in place.
I understand what the distinction is. Vote 35 is simply a mechanism to allocate funds early. Where there is a joint cost issue between the federal government and a province, whether it's the Province of Quebec or any other province, they sign an agreement. For example, on the knowledge infrastructure program in Manitoba, the amount was $75 million. We have allocated $54 million on shovel-ready projects. Now the universities can go out and hire the contractors and the architects. It's not the government that is actually putting the shovel into the ground. If the university or another organization says it needs some of that money up front, before putting a shovel in the ground, there is a mechanism by which it can have 25% of the federal government contribution. Under the old infrastructure fund, you could not get a dime out of it until you showed a receipt for work done.
