Mr. Louis Lévesque at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I'll make just a general comment first before passing it on to department officials for more detail.

I just want to go back to the point I was making before. Generally speaking, and you see this in the supplementary estimates (B) also for infrastructure, what is happening is that we are asking for reprofiles, and then we have lapsing funds and the need for supplementary estimates because, in nature, the payments under those funds are transfer payments. So we follow fundamentally the pace of the partners in that respect.
