With respect to the training programs, the first step was to conclude agreements as the basis for flowing these incremental funds to provinces. British Columbia was actually the very first province to sign on to a new agreement, on April 9, for the receipt of these additional employment insurance funds through the labour market development agreements and for the non-EI funds through the Strategic Training and Transition Fund. So both those agreements with British Columbia have been signed, and it has been factored into the work plans by the province, or any other province. Their planning is proceeding on the basis of this enhanced funding.
