I will say that our experience so far, in terms of communicating our needs to the minister and to the question of his having an appreciation for the Atlantic Canadian context, has been that very early in his mandate, he was out. I, personally, moderated a round table—I think he's had several round tables; he's been out several times since—and there's been an opportunity for stakeholders to engage with him first-hand regarding the challenges and opportunities that exist in the Atlantic. From that perspective, I feel that's relatively well in hand.
Furthermore, we have the opportunity to brief the minister on a regular basis on any number of topics that we think are important to the Atlantic region. As well, we are able to put that into context in the projects that get approved and that we recommend for the minister's support, which, I must say, have largely continued and continued in the same fashion as we have recommended them.
