Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just two comments here. A lot of times, it has to do with planning. A good example is, in our riding, I am sure the Minister knows, a lot of times you have to make sure that you have all of your supplies in the first week of June or maybe even April. That way, you have all of your materials as soon as the weather is good in June to start building.

A lot of times, these contracts come out, and they are coming out in June, closing mid-July, and then you don't get your material by August. There is usually a lot of rain that time of year. I would really appreciate it if a lot of the departments started putting out contracts earlier. We get new money on the 1^st of April. By the end of April, a lot of those contracts should be out, to take advantage of our building season. I keep a close eye on what contracts come out, and I think that that would help a lot in our planning.

I know that we are having a lot of issues with climate change nowadays. We have to take that into consideration. Are the Minister and the department noticing that climate change is actually having a little bigger of an impact on our building and how we do our planning nowadays? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
