Public Accounts committee  What I would say is there's over $1 billion set aside for other community infrastructure projects, of which structural mitigation is one of the asset classes, so on a—

Public Accounts committee  I'd just add on to that. In addition to that, given the importance of structural mitigation, there was $12 million that was set aside, directed specifically towards that. In terms of the prioritization, that's being done with the communities. We've reached out to communities. We're working with the communities.
