The other question was how long is the agreement for?

Thank you for that reminder, Mr. Krutko. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It’s a one-year budget, so it’s for one year.

I notice it’s an increase from last year. Do we get an increase every year going forward with respect to that fund?

The Member’s correct; there is an increase as a result of increased utility costs. That’s reflected in here.

With regard to the $12.7 million for deferred contributions, what are the deferred contributions for or from?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. McLeod. Sorry. Mr. Neudorf.

Speaker: MR. NEUDORF

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is the amortized value of the contributions that we’ve received from the federal government over the years for our infrastructure.

Can the deputy minister illustrate what type of projects we’re talking about that we get this money for from the federal government?

Mr. Chairman, these were the revenues that we received from Canada, all the dollars that we got through Building Canada and other sources through the federal government that have to be amortized and recognized as revenue over the useful life of the asset.

Does this also include the airport infrastructure such as the new garage that’s being built? Is it that type of infrastructure?

It reflects all the investments that the federal government made on the capital projects.

Can the Minister get a list of all the contributions and advise the Members?

Nothing further? We’re on page 11-9. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that we report progress.
