Mr. Speaker, as has been the case for a long time, each department prepares its capital plans. They do a 20 year capital needs assessment. That is done in consultation with communities and regions. They then go into a shorter five-year plan and prioritize again. That is done with communities.

The departments each then bring forward what they are hearing from the regions and communities, what they feel are their departmental priorities. That comes to the capital needs committee of deputy ministers, who then determine how our limited resources are going to be allocated.

Even after the community input at that level, there is still an opportunity after the departments and the committee make their recommendations to us through the business planning process for what is referred to in one of the charts in one of the presentations as a political filter, where we are able to look at the political considerations that must be taken into account. That is the opportunity following business plan reviews where everyone of us as representatives of constituents can have that input. That is the stage we are at right now, Mr. Speaker.

Then, of course, you have a chance again to represent your constituents' needs when we get into main estimates and so on. Thank you.
