Yes. We announced in last year's budget that the gas tax transfer would be made permanent. It increased this year; in fact it doubled this year.
You know, when we go into an economic hard time, rather than cutting our transfer partners we're actually increasing support. But with this new economic stimulus money, what we want to do is ask how we can stretch it as far as we can. If we can get provinces and municipalities to join us in matching our investments, we can create three times as many jobs.

Some municipalities have said they just don't have the money. We came forward with a $2 billion initiative to provide low-interest loans to some municipalities who are in need of that. The good news is that there will be.... There's no doubt in my mind that these programs will be oversubscribed and we'll have to turn down a lot of great projects. That speaks to the demand and to the cooperation and willingness out there.
