Government Operations committee  There were 4,188 projects approved for funding under the $4-billion fund.

Government Operations committee  We have two big programs that were extended: the stimulus, and the top-up to the communities component of the Building Canada fund. Combined, those two funds, which were $4.5 billion, approved 4,727 projects. About a third of those combined, 1,600 projects, needed extensions to t

Government Operations committee  When the funding was first approved, it was for a two-year period. Then the government agreed and the Prime Minister announced last December that they would provide municipalities and provinces with an extra construction season for those who needed it.

Government Operations committee  As announced in budget 2011, even though there are two and a half years left in the Building Canada plan, the government wanted to begin discussions now with the provinces, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and other stakeholders on a long-term infrastructure plan that w

Transport committee  The number of projects? No, not with me, but the percentage is around 4% to 5%. It also changes regularly as we get reports in. We're constantly re-evaluating and assessing and doing our risk rating differently.

Transport committee  I just follow what the minister outlined as the government's position on the deadline at this stage.

Transport committee  I'm sorry, could you just repeat the question?

Transport committee  At this stage what we do is a risk analysis of projects. So as they report quarterly to us, we kind of rate them as low, medium, and high risk. Our high-risk projects are running pretty similar to Daniel's experience, less than 5% of the ones where we have information on them.
