Somebody who's working in the area of health and safety can always say, “If we get more money, we can do more”.
We do have some cost recovery. We have a cost recovery review underway now; it's at the latter stages of review. What we found for the first time in the history of PMRA--the last fiscal year and this fiscal year--is we will actually exceed the amount of cost recovery that we're allowed to keep. We've had more submissions come in in the last two years than we've had before. So the amount of cost recovery fees that we have brought in has exceeded the envelope that is set by Parliament for us.
One of our recommendations will be not to increase costs, but to increase the level we're allowed to keep. Because what happens now is those dollars flow in to us, and once we hit our ceiling they go into general revenues instead of our being able to keep them. As we've said, when you improve your reputation with registrants and you get more submissions in, we're collecting more fees and we're not keeping all of the dollars. A lot of those dollars are going into the central funds, whereas these are dollars the registrants have been paying for our work in reviewing pesticides.
