Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have a question for the presenter. Well done. I have to say, this is something that we've discussed from the outset, when we first started on this committee, especially at it relates to accountability and the matrix of giving out a lot of the infrastructure laws that will be given out.
Can you go into a bit more detail with respect to the accountability, performance measures, and returns on investment? When you are a mayor for 20 years, like me, you recognize at the municipal level that this is a must: you must be accountable with the taxpayer dollars. You also become an enabler, and you put a mechanism in place to put a discipline for those you are doing business with to really promote value engineering, on the part of the proponent as well as those who will be representing the proponent. You put an emphasis on asset management, a disciplined structure of asset management, to enable other projects to benefit from the project that you are investing in today. Also—again, I'll repeat myself—you are promoting return on investment, both current and the residual benefits, based on that project and other projects in the future that it may attach itself to.
If you can comment on some of those benefits that your bill is going to attach itself to, I'd appreciate that.
