Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, in all fairness to some of the previous speakers that had some concerns with carry-overs, I think I may as well address that issue right now. The Members are correct. There is a significant amount of carry-overs. Last year, I believe it was a little over $100 million in carry-overs. It could be for different reasons. Projects could be in the planning stages; the money is appropriated for a particular project. It could be in the planning stages. Contracts could not be let; contracts could just be assigned. That could be some of the reasons for the carry-overs.
I have had discussions with my Cabinet and FMB colleagues, and I have asked them about the amount of carry-overs and that there was a concern with the amount of carry-overs, and, if the projects were sitting in the hopper for too long, then maybe it's time that we reallocated that money if there hasn't been any significant movement on some of the projects. I will be monitoring that quite closely to be sure that we don't have too many projects sitting in the hopper for a couple, two or three years, and if there is an opportunity to use that money elsewhere, to the Member's second point.
I hope that addresses some of the Members' concerns with the amount of carry-overs we have. There are different reasons for carry-overs. Maybe this is an item that I need to sit down with committee and give them a good briefing on it with some of the numbers that are involved. As for the Member's other question, I'm going to ask Mr. Kalgutkar to reply to it, Mr. Chair.
