Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chair, over the review of both our capital budget and our business plans that set up for the main estimates, we have shared concerns a number of times with regard to carryovers of projects. The committee has been concerned over the amount of carryovers. In one particular year, I think last year, about almost half of the capital projects, the amount of the capital projects, ended up being carried over. The committee has made the recommendation that the department develops a better tracking system to lower the carryover amounts and to ensure that the money gets spent when it is supposed to. We know that this has a fairly impactful or has a large impact, especially on small communities as it relates to employment opportunities, so it is critical that we find ways to make sure that we are getting these funds out the door year after year.

I just want to ask the Minister: is the department developing any kind of mechanism to track carryovers and then, let's say, even substantiate them a little bit better in the budget process so that Members can have a better understanding and grasp on the impacts that carryovers have on the territory, I guess. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
