So, Mr. Chair, with respect to the Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), I am happy to present these here to the House. These estimates propose a total decrease of $59.8 million comprised of the following:
- First, a net decrease of $108.9 million to adjust infrastructure project cash flows to realign the appropriations with the anticipated project schedules. These amounts are fully offset by appropriations in prior or future fiscal years.
- Second, $48.1 million to provide funding for community government infrastructure projects under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Plan and Small Community Fund. Both these are fully offset by revenues from the federal government; and,
- Finally, $1 million in support of the advancement of eligible projects under the COVID-19 resilience stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program supporting public building ventilation improvements to reduce the transmission of airborne illnesses. These projects are fully offset by revenues from the federal government.
That concludes opening remarks, Mr. Chair. I am happy to answer questions the committee may have.
