Transport committee  Let me start. Then I will turn to Mr. Grégoire. It is very important not to be confused with different languages around the inspection systems. We have not given up our oversight requirements. We have not given up our regulatory oversight. The safety management systems approach

Transport committee  Thank you. The department gets the money in the budgets, usually straight-lined, year after year. The way the infrastructure program is run is that they ramp up, they peak, and then the peak goes down. This means that sometimes for the budgeted amounts we get year after year, ou

Transport committee  Thank you. I'll start, and my colleague, Mr. Forster, will continue. The engagement of our partners is absolutely critical in the management of this program. It is important as well from my perspective; it helps identify the projects where the needs are. Provinces and municipa

Transport committee  First of all, Mr. Chairman, it is important to give a context in terms of management and the management controls both departments have.

Transport committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Before I introduce my colleagues, let me say that this is my first appearance in front of this committee as the deputy minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.

Transport committee  The government as a whole has committed some resources to preparations for the Mackenzie gas project. This is money to go to our prairie and northern region so they can continue with the surveillance that's related to this project.

Transport committee  There's increased aviation activity, for example, so we have to make sure that our inspectors are inspecting that activity. If you would like, sir, I could get you the full breakdown of its—

Transport committee  If you don't mind.... There are two ways of doing this. I can't give you the answer, because I don't have the details of it, but I have my ADM responsible for this particular thing. We will be here for the second hour and we can answer it then. Or—
