They are involved in the process and they can manage minor projects. For example, in the Quebec region we delegate a lot of work to the harbour authorities. It's clear to us that we saved a lot of money in doing that. They don't always have the knowledge to manage these types of projects, but minor projects below $400,000 are a good range for them to manage. The department has to find a way to enable them to manage work.
