I hear what you're saying about the Liberal motion, but certainly once all the data was in, it was clear there was a small percentage—and it really is a small percentage of projects—that might not get finished by March 31.
But for people to take advantage of it...this is self-selecting. Many people will say “I just want to get it done so I can turn my bills in to get paid.” They might do that, or they might say—and maybe the PRECO projects are a good example, in Quebec—“I'm all done. I just need to put the last layer of pavement down, and I'll do that in July when it's hot and it's easy to pave.”
Many of those projects are going to take advantage of it, but it's self-selecting. That's why I say I know it won't cost the taxpayers more. There's no more for the project. There's no more in the budget for it. What it does is give them freedom to make that choice.
There are responsibilities and obligations that go with it, so we still think the vast majority of projects will be done by March 31. But there's flexibility and fairness for those who want to and need it, and they can extend it for particular types of projects.
That being said, everyone agreed going in that we've got to get this done—it has to be done by March 31—and they all signed, with documentation from an engineer, saying they could. They promised to get this done. Unfortunately, for some of them, whether it be environmental problems or a union strike or who knows what, other things came up and they didn't get them done.
We're still satisfied that the overwhelming majority will be done by March 31.
