Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the process we have in place does allow for the review of the capital projects. For example, as we have recently gone through our budget process and approving the capital program that was established or the capital acquisition program that was established as part of our budget process there, when a project goes out and is tendered and prices have come in higher than anticipated, the department would have to come back to get more money or, for example, change the scope of work. So that would reduce the project itself. We would have to weigh that as to a number of the issues that are out there. One, can we delay the project a year to try to deal with the matter or look at more funds? Is it a safety issue where we would have to proceed? Those factors would come in working with departments.
As I stated earlier, the area we're working on further to that is the banking days where that process is looked at more often and trying to look at the scope of work. Is the project absolutely necessary in this fiscal year? So those things are looked at and then it would be brought back to the Cabinet table.
Any work we're doing we would also work with committees if we're going to change any of the processes. One of the things we're looking at as we prepare for the
next budget cycle is to look at the capital program, what we will need to do to make potentially any changes. Thank you.
