I was very pleased to have the opportunity to have that discussion in Halifax, in part because of the people in the room. They are the ones who are going to make this happen—all of us together. I think that's an important point. This is not an endeavour taken up only by this department. It's really the whole of government.
Of course, we have our priorities from an infrastructure perspective, from changes to how we help the rangers through to the Coast Guard's integration in the north. That is planned for the whole of the north, through our department. We are working very closely, for instance, with the new Major Projects Office, with our colleagues at CanNor and with those elsewhere to make sure the investments we're making are done with timing that works for everybody else, because there are lots of investments under way in the north.
We also want to ensure we are making them at a time and in a place that works for our communities. We're talking constantly to ITK, first nations and different levels of communities—in person, online and in writing—to make sure their needs are taken into account as we make our decisions throughout the year, in fact. This is an ongoing process.
