Is it a different model? I don't think so. For the infrastructure components, especially that being delivered by Infrastructure Canada, no, it's pretty much the same. What you're seeing in this budget, from the departmental point of view, is a lot of capital asset refurbishment and replacement money being deemed as part of the infrastructure plan. There are a lot of ongoing projects—certainly with Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, such as the education and water programs—that have been around for a long time, and they've been classified this time around as part of an infrastructure program. I think that's where the difference lies. It's just how the programs are being presented this time around.
