Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess there are two or maybe three key areas the strategic infrastructure division will be focused on. The first part will be advancing those strategic initiatives of the department, things like the Mackenzie Valley Highway, the Slave Geological Province Access Corridor. Currently, where we have that significant amount of funding, it was announced this fiscal year for the Mackenzie Valley Highway and the Great Bear River bridge. The focus of the strategic infrastructure division is to get that project and aspects of that project through the regulatory, environmental, and permitting stages and to complete all the community consultation work that needs to be done to advance those to a point where we can make a construction decision. So they will be focused on that work as well as the application for federal funding and the Slave Geological Province, completing those. Those are very onerous, large applications. There is a lot of work to do to get those done, so they will be working on that, as well, and other strategic initiatives like that.

Finally, there is a significant amount of reporting and monitoring associated with all aspects of the federal infrastructure funding, whether it's the Low Carbon Economy Fund or whether it's the Oceans Protection Plan or whether it's the Investing in Canada plan. There is a significant amount of detailed regular reporting and work that needs to be done to be compliant with the funding agreements we get from the federal government to access that funding, so their role will be to make sure all that work gets done and provided to the federal government in a timely manner. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
