Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, yes, the general accounting principles apply to the main estimates for the planning, and as we put this together it all fits within there. For more details, part of the process is, maybe it's a selection process. The new community deal we talked about is within Municipal and Community Affairs and their direct relationship with communities and community infrastructure. That is where we are now making a significant change in the way that is worked, and we will support communities through MACA in making that changeover and going forward on that. With other departments there are other areas where the critical infrastructure will continue to be dealt with by departments. For example, within Public Works, the PPD -- petroleum products division -- there is going to be critical infrastructure that every community has to have and that will still fit a criterion, still follow a process that we need to continue to work with.
That process is identified in the main estimates document, volume II, under Appendix B-2 is the page where we list the capital planning process and the process that is involved in how each department fits into, for example, the 20-year needs assessment, and then prioritizing the major projects. How do we allocate funding? Is it small or major? Then fits into the three-year plan, and then into this process here where you come to the budget document before us, and then approval by the House.
It also lists out the criteria that are used for the ranking of the projects so that they can be put into priority order. That is identified, there is going to be continued need to follow that process with some of our core infrastructure when it comes to the core programming services delivered on a territorial-wide basis. But the direct impact on communities and community infrastructure is the way we see a significant change and one that is quite positive in working with our partners out there in the communities.
Again, that is the one with the new deal in working with Municipal and Community Affairs. Thank you.
