Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I too would like to say thank you very much for the extension. I sent a note to my mayors just after you made the announcement, and I got a message back from the mayor, Tony Van Bynen, from Newmarket, who said “Great news. Thank you.” One of the projects they had undertaken and that was on track had come across some environmental difficulties that were unknown when the project was thought of, and this is going to give them some breathing room.
There was also a Facebook comment from one of my constituents, who is the executive director of the Newmarket Soccer Club, thanking me on behalf of the club. Once they got their project started, and as the dollars started to shift, they discovered some things they could do, which had not been part of the package, that would make a permanent facility for the soccer club. This is going to give the club some breathing room for their project to make some long-term decisions that will certainly put a permanent location in place.
Minister, you said that time doesn't allow you to talk about all the initiatives at Transport Canada. I wonder if you could expand on those initiatives you're undertaking. Is this part of the $42.6 million?
