Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  Yes, that's fair to say.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  No, it's on a continuous basis.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  I'd say a good 95% of them are getting done or are very close.

Transport committee  If you had asked me that question a month ago, I would have said no, but fortunately we've had the weather to get these done. If we hadn't, it would be a totally different story in Manitoba. You're just taking a snapshot of today. You have to take a snapshot right across this country, because it involves everyone, and everyone's at a different stage because of weather and things like that.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  All 198.

Transport committee  Well, on a constant basis, we're in communication with ours daily. We surveyed all of ours that had the stimulus funding.

Transport committee  Yes, I think it can.

Transport committee  The approvals were timely, but again, it's the provincial process that seemed to be where the delays were, and it's those necessary steps that you have to do, but they became barriers because of the time constraints and length of time. Like I said, these boards come back with their decisions with a looming deadline ahead of you.

Transport committee  I know municipalities have tried everything they can to streamline the processes that they have control of in order to get things done. We try to combine public hearings and we try to do everything to speed this process along. We keep reminding our municipalities to make sure they have their ducks in a row, whether it's engineering or consulting or whatever, so that they can keep moving forward and will not have to stop and gather information.

Transport committee  Again, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't matter what program you put in, until these agreements are signed, until you know some certainty, yes, there are a lot of things you have to do to get to that point.
