Sure. In my role and responsibility, Mr. Dreeshen, as I mentioned, the public and the municipalities in my constituency and in North Bay, in Mr. Aspin's constituency, were engaged to help prepare for the summit. Part of that engagement involved information flowing back and forth on important issues as the summit came closer. Part of it was preparing for the summit and also preparing a legacy for that summit in terms of infrastructure.
Municipal governments were consulted. They helped identify and prioritize projects that were important to the community. As local leaders they were the ones best placed to identify the needs of their communities certainly. Then, the applications ultimately came from the municipalities, and through me--certainly I did, as an MP, recommend and endorse the suggestions of my community--to Minister Baird and his department, where he had his role and responsibility.
At that point, Minister Baird, you were in charge.
