We have a good relationship with the people at Infrastructure Canada. I believe that the department does everything it can to help us.
Some other departments are responsible for smaller projects, in keeping with their total budget, and for which there may be less interest. However, I believe that the people at Infrastructure Canada do a good job of providing the information they have available.
What needs to be improved is the establishment of clear objectives and performance measurement strategies. Do they have an idea of what they want to achieve by investing $500 million, $800 million or $3 million in a project? What is the final objective. Few people think about this or, at least, few people report it.
When a municipality or province wants to invest $500 million in a project, it certainly has an objective, but there is no clear accountability.
Sorry, Madam Chair.
