To be clear, the commitment of the Government of Canada to the construction is up $100 million, and it hasn't changed. The notional allocation for operating funds is $20.7 million. It's notional, of course, because they're not open yet, but that's what has been provided. What is being asked for through the supplementary estimates here is an advance on future appropriations to provide them with the flexibility to complete the museum. They've done fundraising and they have pledges that will be collected over a number of years, but in order to complete the museum by 2014, they require financial flexibility.
