Actually, I'm glad you raised that point, because of course this is a matter that we stood up for: the protection of those once-strong boards whose mandate has been emasculated. We're looking forward to this government's renewing those previous local powers.
The parliamentary budget officer has raised concerns about whether northern and aboriginal communities can deliver in the time set for the projects. Is this something that Transport Canada and maybe Infrastructure Canada might also like to look at, unless they leave it to INAC? I wonder whether or not you're looking for greater flexibility or longer-term funding opportunities for those communities as they struggle first of all to establish what the projects are and then deliver them effectively.
