Thank you for the question.
The major projects management office is another one of these temporarily funded programs. It originally had three-year funding at roughly $4 million per year, Mr. Chair, that we have used to do two things. One is to monitor all of the large projects under the MPMO, to do the tracking, to systematically do all the coordination of the regulatory work on all of these projects, an operational kind of function.
The other part of the office basically dealt with looking at how we could further improve the system, which is more policy development work, including a fair amount of discussion with provinces as to how we could better align our regulatory system with theirs. We've been working closely with some jurisdictions to assess the better opportunities to achieve regulatory alignment.
In our estimation, those two functions continue to be important. That said, those are part of the considerations going into a budget that will now decide what kind of funding there will be for the major projects management office going forward after March 31 of this year.
