I do appreciate that. I think we're having two different discussions here.

The answer I'm trying to get from you is.... These folks—maybe they are telling you different things than they are telling me—are at your mercy, Minister. You say you're going to get this $400 million rolled out to them, but they don't know when and they don't know where. They assume it's going to be in a timely fashion.

I think, honestly, that there's an opportunity here for you to say that maybe you could have done this better and given it more time.

I guess that's what I'm asking. I'm speaking on behalf of a lot of these organizations. This money absolutely is important.
