We think there is real risk that there will be money lapsed this year, and it is definitely related to the request by the department for additional resources this year. When we look back as well at.... One of the reasons we chose to look at Infrastructure Canada early on, in 2008 and 2009, and focus on it was that there was a history in the department of lapsing significant funds—upwards of $1 billion a year.
Here we find ourselves in supplementary estimates (B), with the department requesting additional resources to deal with this. We're doing our analysis, and our analysis suggests that there is going to be a lapse. To understand the details of how, you would really need to speak to the deputy of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Canada to see why they feel they need these additional resources and how the request relates to their own lapse estimate.
We provided a lapse estimate. We're making it public; they may wish to do the same.
