I'll answer that question.
First, I will start by clarifying the intention of what was said in a previous meeting, which is that there is no fiscal cost of the capitalization on the $300 million because it would be operationalized as a transfer of capital to Export Development Canada. Export Development Canada, as a consolidated entity on Canada's books, would have no fiscal costs. It just becomes an asset on the Government of Canada's books. I'm sorry if that's not very clear.
But with respect to when decisions will be made as the DFI is operationalized, should this legislation be approved, the next step would be for the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development to issue to the corporation a statement of priorities and accountabilities. In that letter the minister would set out his expectations of what the DFI would look like and Export Development Canada would be required, as part of their next corporate planning process, to describe how it would be operationalized.
The corporate planning process occurs on Export Development Canada's fiscal year basis, so their fiscal year ends December 31, 2015. That corporate plan would be approved by Treasury Board and tabled in Parliament by the end of that calendar year.
