I would respectfully disagree that we're behind on the CHIF. Other than one province, which we are working very hard to get an agreement with, we have agreements with all of the provinces and territories across the country. As I mentioned, we have put out 27 projects worth $780 million through direct delivery.
What you're seeing in the public accounts is the natural lag that happens on infrastructure. We commit the money, which we have done, and then the money gets spent. Receipts come in and then we pay the receipts. It shows up in our cash flow at the point where we are paying remittances.
If you look at our expenditures for next year, for example, we are showing that about $5.7 billion of ICIP is going to be funded, and that was obviously a program that came around in 2017-18. The allocation decisions were made a long time ago. It's simply the lag between when the work gets done and when they send us the bills and we pay the bills. That's what you're seeing.
