Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Typically, early in the calendar year about this time communities are requested to provide advice to the department on how they see their priorities for projects that are eligible for funding under our programs and this is incorporated into our capital forecasting plan and into the overall government's capital planning process. The time that community governments typically have to review and consider their situation and advise the department is somewhere in the neighbourhood of two to three months, typically, January through to the end of March. After that time, we take that information, I should say in the intervening period the department staff would have had an opportunity to sit down and discuss with hamlet councils and their administrations or other community governments and their administrations, and talk to them personally about changes that have occurred over the last year, what new priorities there are, new project needs and so on. After that, all of the project requests that have come from communities are consolidated into a departmental capital plan which would normally occur in late April or May. That gives a general sense of the timeframe that we are working with for our capital planning process. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
