Back in 1989, the government of the day eliminated the capital budget, and this puts significant pressure on when they have to fix up things like the parkway and bridges and make land acquisitions in Gatineau Park. In the 2007 budget, they were given a $10 million capital budget and $5 million for other operational issues. A hold was put on that $10 million pending the mandate review, which I think was a logical thing, and now the mandate review has been completed and the money is available to the NCC.
