Natural Resources committee  In this budget, no. There's a general Building Canada infrastructure fund, which—

Natural Resources committee  I will have to get back on that. You're right, I don't think they're actually up and running yet, but they have an intention—

Natural Resources committee  Yes, and what they will actually cost I'd have to get for the committee. I don't have that information at my disposal.

Natural Resources committee  Sure. I think I'll separate it into two things. One—and it probably is a bit confusing—there's the major projects management office itself, which is really charged with looking at all of the major projects and making sure all the regulators are coordinated, taking a whole-of-gov

Natural Resources committee  I believe it was about $3.5 million per year. I don't know if I have the exact numbers in front of me. I'm not sure of the number or whether it extended for five years, but it was something in that order of magnitude that they were provided. I can try to get the precise numbers

Natural Resources committee  I don't believe that any of that money is for.... That's money for 2015-16. It's in our estimates, basically, to allow AECL to keep operating. Whatever moneys they need for operations beyond 2015-16 would be in the future main estimates.

Natural Resources committee  I believe it's 2016, and they will have to go forward for another licence application to the regulator.

Natural Resources committee  Yes.

Natural Resources committee  If the question you're asking is whether they would have funding to be able to go forward and apply for the licence, sure. If you're talking about the funding to operate AECL in 2016-17 and beyond, that would not be captured.

Natural Resources committee  The numbers in the main estimates...?

Natural Resources committee  Again, as we talked about earlier, the main estimates were put out ahead of the budget this year. Anything that was in the main estimates wouldn't reflect what was in the budget. In those cases, they will be definitely different.

Natural Resources committee  There were additional moneys that were provided to AECL as well. The estimates aren't wrong. The only thing I'm pointing out is that when you look at government expenditures, they are a combination of main estimates, budgets, and supplementaries (A), (B), and (C). Right now we'

Natural Resources committee  I'm not going to comment on a particular project, but I will answer your question about the 2015 budget. What's in the 2015 budget is an initiative on rare earth elements, chromite and others. The minister referred to it in his discussion. This is money that we're putting forwar

Natural Resources committee  Yes, it will apply in those other ones as well. It's really to try to develop the technology and innovation to take us forward in that area.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, but probably not as deep a sense as Peter Watson, who heads it up, who will ultimately be determining precisely where they spend their money. But I know that in the context of the additional money they did receive, it will be for compliance and oversight, activities they can
