First and foremost, accountability is important. The biggest built-in accountability measure is that we partner with provinces and municipalities. I just talked about Newfoundland. We have to sit down and work out which projects to support in conjunction with the province and with municipalities. When we're all putting a third up, it does lend itself to more accountability.
One of the things I have to say--and my friend from Quebec will appreciate this--is that it's not the federal government's job to micromanage the provinces and municipalities. We are funding partners; we are not proponents. In an overwhelming number of cases, we're not the ones holding the shovel; it's them. For example, Premier McGuinty brought to the first ministers meeting in January a five-inch binder of paperwork that was required after an announcement. It's our job to be financially supportive of public transit. It's not our job to run the public transit. It's not our job to try to micromanage it.
So we try to be more focused in our accountability mechanisms. But the biggest accountability measure by far is that it's, generally speaking, at least a dual or tripartite approach.
