A lot of it has, so you're missing some of the numbers.
Our first priority is mitigation. One of the strong objectives is to try to prevent the pine beetle from spreading into the boreal forest. It's been moving into Alberta now for about two years and that's where it intersects. The lodgepole pine intersects with the jack pine in the boreal forest. These forests intersect in the northeast corner of British Columbia or in the Peace River area of Alberta, in the Hinton area. They're spending a lot of money on mitigation. About $75 million of the first $200 million has been committed to mitigation, and $50 million has already been spent. It's gone to the Pacific Forestry Centre, to the scientists working on the mountain pine beetle at the Canadian Forest Service. They're working with both the Province of Alberta and the Province of British Columbia. They're telling us their needs on mitigation, and we're funding those needs 100%. They're saying that with a sustained effort of this kind of money for about five years they believe there's a fighting chance to get that under control. About $75 million is going out on mitigation and other money is going out with respect to the safety of communities, fire mitigation, and fire prevention.
We also have some economic money available. With some of these communities, single-industry towns, we're looking five or ten years down the road. What are these towns going to look like when this timber that's standing gets to the point where it's no longer commercial timber or it can't be harvested? So they're trying to look at other economic opportunities. Some of the best drivers are large-scale transportation infrastructure to.... We're doing some geoscience with respect to natural resources. We're doing geomapping to look for new mineral deposits, which has been very successful, and pine beetle money is going there as well.
The full $200 million is either going into small community economic development or some larger-scale fire suppression work and mitigation. Mitigation is where the largest expenditures are going, $75 million of the first $200 million.
