I understand, but I'm saying that money was spent and you're looking for more. We're supposed to concur here, or not, on the estimates. We're looking for outcomes here. We know you underspent. That's one outcome. But of the money you did spend, surely you have a handle on what it did generate. Could we get the jobs? Also, would it be possible to table the stages?
We've had a number of projects announced, but there is a stage where there is an actual contract--or as you call it, an agreement--with the entity, whether it's a province, municipality, and so on. Then there's a stage in which they actually start construction and then there's the stage in which they invoice you and money actually flows.
I think everyone knows that only 5% of the money from your new programs flowed last year. I think it's fairly essential on a due diligence part—not to interfere with the operations—if you can generate a list for us. Your staff referenced in committee that such a thing was possible to tell us where the projects are at, where they've been announced politically or in a news release, and when the actual agreements were signed and can therefore go ahead. Then they could tell us when the actual project is in progress and when you're starting to pay on that project. This would be a standard for all funds.
Obviously you've underspent quite a bit in the last few years, and it would be helpful for the public to see the stages Infrastructure Canada projects are at, both for proposed extensions of the existing programs and the new programs that are here for the stimulus. Is that possible?
