First, infrastructure funding does not lapse. It gets re-profiled. When we look at the funds that are set aside for particular projects, when we have an obligation, that money is set in reserve for the bills that come in for that particular project.
With Infrastructure Canada funding, the economic activity actually begins when we make the commitment for funds. That's when the proponents can contract; they can hire and they can undertake the work to actually get the project done. Then they send the bill, often to the province, and the province sends a bill to us. The actual flow of funds is a lagging indicator. There is a huge timing difference when the economic activity is actually happening within communities.
We've been working with provinces and territories to close that gap. We have a working group to do that. Our profiles are actually based on the forecast from provinces and territories once we have signed agreements with them.
When we look at what happens within communities, it is very much when we make that commitment for that particular project for the economic activity.
