Transport committee  They ran out at the end of March 2016.

Transport committee  There hasn't, but because the budget was announced before, we continued operating the program.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  This is exactly for that, actually. As you may be aware, in the territories there are review boards that conduct the environmental assessments for development projects. Because many of these projects involve transportation elements, whether it's a port or a road or perhaps an air

Transport committee  I'll turn it over to Yazmine, since it's a project delivery question. These ones are more focused on environmental assessment.

Transport committee  Thank you very much for that question. This amount of money, the $22.6 million, is to address our high-risk contaminated sites. When you're talking about risk assessment, yes, this one really is focused on human health and the environment. As I mentioned, we have a large inven

Transport committee  The main estimates would have included funding for CATSA's regular programs, which were the three elements that Angus spoke about earlier, for its identity card, for its passenger screening, and those elements. This is a separate program, and it received three-year funding. It wa

Transport committee  No, it's exactly as Mr. Watt said. It's a three-year funding initiative, and this is the final year. Every year in the estimates that CATSA has been provided there is the annual funding for implementing this initiative. This is the final year of the initiative.

That's the only reason. But it had been a

Transport committee  It's responding to the planning for that year. Crown corporations every year have to submit a corporate plan to the government, and the funding they get for that year is based on the plan they submit to the government. It's not a delay. It's the annual appropriation based on the

Transport committee  That's right, and it has received funding in the other two years as well.

Transport committee  Now that you have heard from three of our partners in the Transport portfolio, I will give you a few remarks on what is in the request for supplementary estimates (A) for Transport Canada. You will note that we are requesting a total increase in our estimates of $125.9 million.

Transport committee  Perhaps I'll ask VIA Rail if they have any opening remarks.

Transport committee  Madam Chair, we should probably introduce the two people on the video screen. They are with VIA Rail. The gentleman is Mr. Martin Landry. He's the chief commercial officer. The lady is the chief financial officer, Ms. Patricia Jasmin. Do you want to continue with the crown corp

Transport committee  Why don't we go to Marine Atlantic.
