Transport committee  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 a

Transport committee  The Minister of Infrastructure is responsible for his department, and if you're looking for somebody to review the whole program, yes, somebody might want to, but so far we've been asked by Parliament to provide that sort of update.

Transport committee  A receipt-based approach is not terribly useful from our point of view. It's not a question I've been asked, and it's a very good one. A milestone basis might make some sense, because then we would anticipate a certain amount of work being done by that point. Of course, then, w

Transport committee  Given the short time I've been thinking about it, for the last 10 seconds, I'd say sure, probably any information right now is better than no information.

Transport committee  I think, even as we get more current data on phase one, you will see this change dramatically as well.

Transport committee  I think it's two-fold. First, we only looked at projects funded under the new budget 2016 plan: waste water and public transit. We didn't look at the other legacy programs administered by Infrastructure Canada. Some of that 700 number includes a lot of these legacy programs. The

Transport committee  Sorry? Ontario is using an allocation?

February 21st, 2017Committee meeting

Peter Weltman

Transport committee  We were looking at the federal level. We didn't go to the provinces and ask them how they were distributing the money to municipalities. We simply looked at Infrastructure Canada and how their program was set up vis-à-vis the provinces.

Transport committee  Oh, sure. Sure it is.

Transport committee  That is so right now. Then hopefully, as I said before, as we produce revised reports, we'll be able to get some indication—again, we are data dependent—on what is happening on the ground.

Transport committee  For the other 30 departments, it will be the departments themselves. For Infrastructure Canada, it will be whatever they can get out of their project proponents. We won't go directly to the proponents yet. We did that last time, but we're not planning yet to do that.

Peter Weltman

Transport committee  Yes. There's a chart that we didn't include. Again, this is a work in progress. If you look at the distribution by number of projects, it's fairly uniform. It lines up pretty closely to population as well. It looks far more uniform. Again, as Jean-Denis mentioned earlier, this is

Transport committee  I'll back up a little bit.

February 21st, 2017Committee meeting

Peter Weltman

Transport committee  In regard to your first point, some of the monies that have been allocated in this infrastructure program will go to projects such as small craft harbour repair and those sorts of things, through Fisheries and Oceans. You'll see in the report that they have a chunk of money. Some

February 21st, 2017Committee meeting

Peter Weltman

Transport committee  Well, in a previous piece of work we did, back in 2009, we asked for project progress. We're asking for that again, and it will really be up to the project manager or the project proponent to determine what phase the project is at relative to.... Is the buying of the bus 100% of
