Discussions are held with the provinces about action plans. The bilateral agreements actually work through action plans. The federal level and the appropriate provincial level must agree on an action plan. We start with a basic discussion to agree on the initiatives that will result in funding. That is shared between the federal and provincial levels. A province can decide on its own to fund 100% of an initiative. But, within the framework of collaboration between the federal and provincial levels, things are done by discussion and mutual agreement.
