Transport committee  I agree, and we're taking that back into the department, so there will be public inspectors doing the work.

Transport committee  It is more than what Quebec receives under the Building Canada Fund.

Transport committee  The $1.5 billion charge over five years will all go towards that.

Transport committee  It will go for security under CATSA and others. We have committed to give this committee—a proper oversight committee—a complete accounting for how the money will be spent, so that taxpayers can have confidence that the increase in the charge is actually going towards security.

Transport committee  Now gone?

Transport committee  I think to say that there's no permanent funding just is not accurate. We not only made the gas tax transfer to municipalities permanent in the 2008 budget, but last year, in a difficult financial year, we doubled it. We have a lot of confidence that the municipalities can make the choices that are good for them.

Transport committee  I think we said it was about $400 million.

Transport committee  I'll give you the numbers here. Of the $4 billion stimulus fund, across Canada about....

Transport committee  No problem.

Transport committee  Mr. Forster?

Transport committee  We have not spent all the money; there is still some left. There are also funds for projects that have not been announced, such as the highway connector between the Canadian bridge/plaza in Windsor and Highway 401. Partnerships between Michigan and the United States are pending.

Transport committee  We are prepared to provide information on Quebec's participation. We have done a lot of work on a policy called the Ontario-Quebec Continental Gateway and Trade Corridor. The Building Canada Fund is ready to support the projects, further to our agreement with Quebec or Ontario.

Transport committee  Correct.

Transport committee  Well, the Auditor General doesn't give pre-clearances. She's the auditor after the fact. She will not give a pre-clearance on any issue before government.

Transport committee  We're comfortable with it. I should underline that it's up to $550 million. It's not a loan to the State of Michigan. It'll be part of the P3 project.
