It was a question I had when I saw this and from what I had seen before on various other funding.
I know sports was one thing, which goes back to when I first sat on the sports committee. The minister came and said he had requested $30 million more. The budget had been $90 million, and then, lo and behold, when the announcement was made, the budget was $100 million. When we asked for an explanation, it was because $20 million of that $90 million had a sunset; the program had a sunset clause. The $30 million only brought it up.
I know for some of these things it sounds like a lot when you think $30 million has been added, but it's not quite that much if $20 million has been taken off.
Again, long-term sustainable funding would be such that you wouldn't have to wait until the end of 2005 to find out if you could get an extension. An extension would have been thought about somewhere along the line. You'd always be two or three years ahead, and you'd then know the funding is going to be there.
