Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there was a number of challenges that arose in 2019 or post 2019 where budgets and projects that were in the past Assembly -- actually two Assemblies ago now, then run up against COVID. There was a number of delays and as really I think everyone out there, whether it's government procurement or private procurement, saw increases into the huge -- in the huge numbers in terms of what kinds of impacts fuel had, inflation had, interest rates had, labour market challenges had, and the government is no stranger to that. So what we saw across the private sphere certainly impacted us as well and the projects that we had, again, 18th Assembly moved forward under delay and wound up with significant overages. So that has been a systemic problem but it's a systemic problem that didn't just affect our government. It's affected governments everywhere in Canada. It's affected private residents. It's affected private businesses. And we're certainly no stranger to it.
What we've done, Mr. Speaker, to support some change, we've already introduced an increase in planning and an increased focus in planning. We've brought back ADMs, we brought back peer review groups to actually make sure that when we go forward with a budget now that we know that that budget's more accurate. Thank you.
