Thank you for your question. Regarding the Stimulus Fund, the funding is spread among the provinces on a per capita basis. Each province and each territory receives its share of the $4 billion. In Quebec, several programs are in place to receive funding under the Stimulus Fund. For instance, we are sharing the cost of a PRECO program, which is managed by Quebec. The people responsible for the program fill out an application form, and after the applications have been reviewed, they provide the federal government with a list of projects which then receive approval. We also support the project. It's simply a matter of funding. It is managed somewhat differently in each province, but the funding is allocated on a per capita, or per person, basis.
