Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Hogan, thank you, and thank you to all the staff who are here today. Thank you in particular for pointing out the amazing job that the civil servants have done throughout COVID. I look at it like the Apollo 13 movie. We really had to solve problems as we were flying the ship, using all the resources of bringing people out of retirement and working with external contractors to get us to the point where we needed to be to serve Canadians. Thank you for pointing that out.
I'm on the infrastructure question, like Mr. Webber but possibly on a different tack.
As a member of Parliament, one of my challenges has been to have my community aware of the infrastructure projects, have the city council approve use of land, have the province include our projects in their priorities. It's almost a balancing between getting our city council to apply for projects or our business community to apply for projects. Priorities then go to the province and those priorities then come to the federal government. Projects get approved, and the province has to provide matching funds and the city council has to provide matching funds. It's quite a job for a member of Parliament to try to track through the system to make sure that projects are on track through the different orders of government.
In your sixth paragraph, your sixth bullet point, you talk about the federal partners in the plan, and these are the partners that I'm working with on a cross-jurisdictional collaboration. A flow chart would be an amazing thing, or a spreadsheet, to say that this order of government has approved it, this order hasn't yet, this one hasn't. I think we've got some of these legacy projects stuck somewhere in the flow chart. Is this an accurate assessment, or is that something you're recommending—that we establish more stringent records between orders of government?
