Mr. Chair, I think the Member is basically correct. The department first works to identify the needs of all projects in the 20-year needs assessment. This is based on capital standards, specified program requirements, the condition of assets and the age and estimated use for life of assets. This information is also reviewed by the working and deputies' committee responsible for infrastructure planning. Then the first five years of the 20-year needs assessment is then reviewed by the working committee, and then the projects are ranked against the identified rating criteria and from that information there are recommendations made as to which projects will be included in the five-year capital plan. Thank you.
