Update DPE forecast:

•         A mapping of new measures (Tables 1.3, 2.1, 3.2, 4.1, A1.3 and A1.4) to lines within the fiscal framework (Tables A1.6 and A1.7).

•         An updated lapse forecast for the next five fiscal years, as was presented in Budget 2015 (pp. 359)?

•         Confirm that no savings have been booked from the newly announced spending reviews/capital asset review (p. 38)

Update revenues forecast:

•         A mapping of funds existing in the fiscal framework, or sourced from departmental resources or projected revenues (Tables 1.3, 2.1, 3.2, 4.1, A1.3 and A1.4) to lines within the fiscal framework (Tables A1.6).

Update EI forecast:

•         How much are the EI revenues that will offset planned new EI spending and how much of these relate to the Employment Insurance Account? What EI-related spending will be financed outside the EI Operating Account?

Update PDC forecast:

•         Identify the impact on public debt interest costs of the new planned spending (p. 37)?

Update economic forecast:

•         On a cash basis, the “total investments in Budget 2017” and “net fiscal impact of investments in Budget 2017” identified in Table A1.4.

Infrastructure implementation monitoring:

•        An update of data underlying Budget 2016, Chart 6.2, Funding for National Defence Large-Scale Capital Projects. How has the annual accrual profile to 2044-45 changed since Budget 2016? Does this re-profile account for the entirety of the lower capital amortization profiles between Budget 2016 vs. Budget 2017.

•         An updated profile of National Accounts impulse from incremental Infrastructure spending since Budget 2016. Can you share the discussion of allocation between sectors, (fixed capital: residential, non-residential, government; and current spending)?

•         Is Finance Canada’s current cash profile for “infrastructure” spending the sum of A1.12 and A1.13 (pp.265 and 266)?  Can you provide a revised profile for investments in federal assets (as was provided in Table A2.4 of Budget 2016)?

I would like to obtain an electronic copy in an editable format (.csv, .xlsx, .sas, etc.) of the master data file (or files) that contains all the data pertaining to The Canadian Register of Historic Places. In other terms, I would like to obtain the file from which information is extracted when using the search engine for the Canadian Register at http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/search-recherche.aspx.

I don’t know if this information is already contained in the aforementioned files, but I would also like to obtain, if available, the ownership status (private vs public) of each property in the register. If that information is not compiled in the register, can you provide an estimate of the share of properties listed in the register that are privately owned?
