Certainly we're trying to accelerate the whole budgeting process, so we're engaging our regions earlier in the year to start planning for the projects for the next year. We are limited by a fiscal framework that prevents the department from allocating the funds until a certain time of the year.
But what we are doing now--and again, it's as a result of the joint work we've done with Public Works--is engaging them and engaging ourselves sooner in the game to do the planning work earlier, such that we're ready to roll once the project is approved right at that point.
Also, we must take into account at all times the regional particularities, and Newfoundland certainly comes to mind with respect to a shorter construction season, so that needs to be taken into account. Also, what we're finding is we're coming across more property issues and environmental issues, things that are just complicating the planning process.
So we're giving ourselves a little more time to do that right so that we do it more cost-effectively and therefore we're able to deliver more quickly on our projects. But your point is certainly well taken.
