I do not have that information, but certainly in reviewing the public/private partnerships and the need to find new creative ways in which to develop public infrastructure, I can tell you Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Ontario. Those are the ones I do know. Thank you.

I would like to be able to answer. I do not have those details before me. I would imagine different jurisdictions have different levels of commitment. In Ontario, it could be billions. In Newfoundland, it could be different because of the magnitude. I would undertake, given some time to get some breathing space, to see if we can determine, at least get a bit of a cross section of what the exposure is for each of these communities, each of these constituencies and get back to my honourable colleague.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the process that this will follow, will we be using existing programs that are in place, especially in regard to trying to get as much economic bang for our northern buck where we look at northern firms versus southern firms because we are talking large amounts of money here. There are not that many firms in the north that will be able to come up with this type of cash to take on these projects, yet there are large southern institutions which could probably eat us for breakfast. I would like to ask the Minister, are we going to adhere to the existing business practices and policies that are presently in place to ensure we get the biggest northern bang for the northern buck?
