If I may, I'm going to give a supplementary answer.

The $100 million in projects comes from a survey we did of our municipalities and it doesn't take into account what I call missed initiatives. A number of municipalities decided not to submit projects, because they felt completely unable to meet the deadline.

That amount represents projects the municipalities hoped to complete, but that can't be completed by the deadline because of unforseen obstacles to completion.
