Thank you, Mr. Chair. Highways management side, the budgets were down from ‘13-14 mains to the current year of the proposed ‘14-15 mains mainly due to financial shared services and transferring some of the responsibilities from ourselves to the Department of Finance and then also a small adjustment related to procurement shared services.
In road licensing and safety, on safety and regulations there were a number of budgets, some increases due to Collective Agreement, increased
cost due to the contract with Canadian Bank Note, the contractor that produces our drivers’ licence.
There was an internal budget realignment to move $150,000 from this budget used to pay the 24-7 contracting services from total permit services fees from safety and regulations program to the motor carrier services budget, so it was just an internal realignment.
There is also a decrease adjustment due to financial shared services and then, finally, there was an adjustment internal to DOT to centralize some software licensing on our Motor Vehicle Information System new DRIVE system centralizing just to have better management of the various software licences for that software. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
