Ministers have discretion. The minister needs to make a determination on what projects.... As I said, in the case of direct delivery projects, we work off submissions that come forward from first nations communities, municipalities and, in some cases, not-for-profits at the local level. Those are typically the proponents of projects that come forward.
In the case of federal-provincial agreements, the provinces tell us. They essentially provide us with a menu or a set of projects that are their priorities. Then ministers from both the federal and provincial governments need to agree on what the allocations are.
