Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I cannot bear the thought of deputy ministers making the final decision, knowing that there might be circumstances where communities may feel strongly enough on a particular project, which for them may be their priority but it may be no one else's priority.

In that case, what is the process for those communities that may have something as their priority, which may be unique to themselves? Are they able to override this committee of deputy ministers if they feel strongly enough of prioritizing a particular project that may not meet the requirements of your deputy ministers committee?
