I was speaking with Mr. Swick yesterday, most recently, and a number of times before, and you're absolutely correct that the community war memorial program cannot assist with that particular project. The reason is the program, like many federal government programs, has a stacking restriction. It does not permit the stacking of federal contributions from different departments or different federal organizations. So in this case, if the monument is placed on crown land, the provision of that crown land for the monument is a federal contribution, and therefore our program is not permitted to also provide a contribution to the same project.
