It is true that we approve between 1,000 and 1,200 projects per year. Currently, the statistics on the number of projects approved indicates that that trend is continuing. There has been no real changes.
It is true that this brought about some delays for the projects under $100,000. In the past, the minister only approved projects worth more than $100,000. Now, he approves all the projects, including those under $100,000. This causes some delays for those projects, but it is nothing dramatic. We manage to work very well and to support the projects. This is the case because we recommend them. Officials recommend all the projects, analyze them, and we make recommendations. The fact that the minister signs off on them adds three or four days to the process.
