As we move forward with the spending, I'll try to explain the steps that we're taking.
The first step is to ensure that you have a well-defined program under which projects are approved. For example, your recreational infrastructure programming will fund the upgrade of arenas and other recreational facilities. The first step in the approval process is to ensure that you have a program in place that has very clear terms and conditions for what does qualify and what does not qualify. Approval of those terms and conditions is the role of the Treasury Board. That's basically where our role becomes critical. The departments will recommend them, we'll review them, we'll approve them, and associated with that, we'll approve the funding and the source of funds. Should it come out of vote 35, if it's needed? Can it wait until supplementary estimates (A)? Can it wait for supplementary estimates (B)? Is it already in the Budget Implementation Act?
The board approves the program design and the associated funding. Once that's done, then it's the responsibility of the departments. So in the case of that program, it's the regional agencies, I believe, and Industry Canada, and they are then responsible to take that program, look at the terms and conditions, and say which projects qualify and which projects do not qualify.
We are not, just to be clear, allocating vote 35 to projects. We're allocating vote 35 to programs that were specified in the budget. To do that, departments have to give us what they think are their cashflow requirements for the time period they need, and that's how we make our decision on vote 35.
