Very good. Now, I also understand that in southwestern Ontario, part of IRAP will be administering SODA, the Southern Ontario Development Agency, for economic development. Is that correct?

Okay. Of the $170 million, how much is actually going to IRAP programs, how much of it is going to SODA, and how much is being added for the administration of SODA within that program?

The other thing is that you mentioned what seems to be two years at a time. Is this sustained funding, or is it something that will drastically end after two years?
