Yes, there is room for improvement, as in many other aspects of our relationship. We absolutely recognize that.
But, first, I would simply like to add, to supplement what my colleague said, that some provinces don't have a recommendation committee. That's the case of some communities in Ontario and Quebec, in particular. They simply choose to tell us their priorities, even if it means that the Department of Canadian Heritage alone makes the recommendations to the minister.
Is there room for improvement? Yes. It is up to the communities, and to us, to target priorities more specifically. It's sometimes very hard, when you have 12 major priorities, to say that you're going to focus on three of them over the next five years.
In the case of costly projects, such as school-community centre projects, that does require a longer development period. Before finalizing the project, the Department of Canadian Heritage normally funds a feasibility study through the programs we're talking about today, until the province and the federal government agree on the project's development.
