The $40,000 is a contracting authority. The President of the Treasury Board delegates to the department construction contracting authority. That's the authority to enter into a contract with a harbour authority.
The project authority of $50,000 is precisely that, the project approval authority within the department. So we would find it useful if those two figures were the same, but they're not. So one is $40,000 for entering into a contract, and $50,000 is the level of authority that's been delegated to me, as the regional director in Newfoundland, for initiating works.
