Thank you, Minister Ramsay, for answering that question directly. I appreciate it. It saves a lot of time and energy.

My next question and it will be my last question, Madam Chair, is I think people need to understand that should this project exceed, and I say should, the $299 million, would this overage be following 100 percent in the hands of taxpayers to actually pay that overage out of our own coffers and not a cost-sharing involvement with the federal government? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. For that we’ll go to Mr. Williams.

I appreciate Mr. Neudorf’s response to that here. In the reply to the question I believe there were about four airports that were mentioned in terms of improvements in the safety requirements. I did hear that this is year four of five of an implementation program. Can we get more detail on how many airports are still not meeting the so-called federal requirements of the total amount of airports that we have under our guidance?

Madam Chair, I have no further questions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister McLeod.

Madam Chair, I appreciate the honesty here. We know the troubles. We know the challenges faced by the department. What would be interesting to have is – and I know we have to wait for the strategy to come full course – the needs assessment, the priority list or the substantiation sheets on those sections of highways that are in dire need of repair or resurfacing or actually even new construction. Has the department compiled such a document? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Madam Chair. In the title-ship of corporate services, I know it encompasses a lot of operation expenditures so I want to first talk about the remaining money that could still not be spent. This money was from the Building Canada Plan, which I believe ceased in 2011. I know there are residual monies that are usually put into stasis or basically in a holding pattern.

Can the Minister indicate if all the money under the previous federal Building Canada Plan has been spent or are there still projects outstanding, tied or attached to that resource money?
