Industry committee  We'll endeavour to get that information for you.

Industry committee  You will see the next $6 million in the main estimates next year.

Industry committee  Once again, I'll defer to my colleague who is actually responsible for the delivery of that program. He'll be able to give you some information on that.

Industry committee  I will let my colleague take that.

Industry committee  I think I would just say that when the agency develops its proposals, it does look at what operating funding is required to deliver those programs. They do the costing and they will propose the funding that's required to deliver the program. I'm confident that they are getting the funding that they think they need to deliver the programs they are tasked with doing.

Industry committee  Cultural.

Industry committee  I think an interesting confusion is created by the way that appears in the estimates documents, because the regional development agencies are not doing anything in affordable housing, per se. It's part of a much larger social infrastructure package of funding that was provided in budget 2016.

Industry committee  As I mentioned earlier, this program has already been announced and launched through budget 2015. These local community projects are the kinds of projects that those agencies have a lot of experience in delivering, and they have all the connections and the infrastructure and the networks on the ground in the regions to deliver on projects of that nature.

Industry committee  I think there will be differences and they will vary by region based on the nature of the region. For CanNor, because it's responsible for the north, all the operating costs will be significantly higher due to the costs of transportation, and all the complications that arise when you're trying to deliver programs in the north.

Industry committee  I don't believe they have changed for this program.

Industry committee  The total envelope of funding they have is $46.2 million for that particular program. They are getting projects in now and will be assessing them and delivering them, two of which have been approved to date.

Industry committee  Yet to be allocated.

Industry committee  There is an intake that is occurring and they give priority to projects that address one or more of three basic criteria: upgrades to recreational facilities, advancing a clean growth economy, or having an impact on indigenous communities and people. Those are the essential or basic eligibility criteria, and there will be other considerations that will come in to play as they approve projects; for example, projects that leave a meaningful or lasting legacy resulting from the program for the 150th anniversary, upgrades that will provide a long-lasting benefit to the community.

Industry committee  I can start and my colleague may want to add. No, these are all buildings that are on their Shirleys Bay campus in various states of condition. There is a larger health and safety project underway to renovate and to bring these buildings into a modern state. What they're doing with the laboratories there, that specific initiative, is consolidating labs in different spaces into one building for efficiency and to modernize them.

Industry committee  To the extent possible, the centre is trying to divest itself of buildings they will no longer require.
