As the honourable member acknowledged, we've been ready with our appointments and been ready to sit down at the table. The provinces had a heck of a lot going on. Maybe what I can do is tell the member that we will certainly be sitting down and approaching the provinces about this as quickly as possible to see how quickly we can form this up. There's a tremendous amount of goodwill, I believe, at the moment.
Mr. Mercer, who appeared previous to me, would be able to speak more accurately to this point, but from what I can see, since we put the additional $320 million towards the offshore in pandemic relief, with the objective of looking after workers, retraining workers and lowering emissions, they have had a seat at the table with industry and with the provincial government to determine what projects will get that $320 million. They've also been somewhat involved in the emissions reduction fund as well.
So there's a congeniality there. There are good relationships that exist. We want them to exist in an institutional way in exactly the groups that you're talking about. Now that we have this moving along fairly quickly, that will certainly be the next step. We're ready to sit down at the table.
