Thank you. There may be a follow-up to that a little later.
In terms of transportation, there have been dollars allocated, Minister, and you've talked about the money that was going to go rural transportation in terms of roads and bridges and what have you. What we're seeing in reality right now is that a huge majority—close to some 94% or 95%—of infrastructure projects have failed to even start construction. Then, when we look at the infrastructure funding across there, we see that there really isn't any new infrastructure spending beyond the 2016 fall economic statement. When you look further, you see that the majority of the funds are back-ended until after 2022. That moves us down the road a little ways.
In terms of funding for transportation, we're talking about it locally, like what you talked about with roads and bridges, but we're also talking about large projects. If we're going to be exporting—we're an export nation—and we need to get to markets, we need to have the infrastructure to get to the markets. I'm getting concerned when I see the back end of the transportation budget in terms of the estimates moving backwards, and in this case forwards until after 2022. I wonder if you could help to explain that.
