The transport and infrastructure portfolio is truly quite a large portfolio.
Let me give you one example. Infrastructure Canada is a department just like Transport Canada under the same portfolio. When the government decided to put the economic action plan in place, when the infrastructure stimulus fund got put in place, there was quite a rush all across the country, at all levels of government, to ensure that we had projects that made sense, but that could be done fast and would actually support the broad objectives.
The work that the transport department had done under the gateways and border crossings fund with partners for a number of years actually identified some gaps, for example, in the port structures and the road structures, or for bridges and repairs that need to be done, etc. So the transport department was able to give quite a lot of input into the infrastructure department in terms of setting priorities with the provinces. That would be one example.
Another example would be Marine Atlantic, which is part of our portfolio. Their activities directly connect to all of the activities we have on the transport side with regard to roads, for example.
Those would be some of the examples of the connections.
I feel we have to do better in connecting the portfolio, and not all of our portfolio is completely connected to us. For example, the Royal Canadian Mint is part of our portfolio. It's really hard to find the transportation linkages, but nevertheless we have to provide the accountability and the governance regime for the portfolio.
