We have, I think, quite a rigorous process leading to the conclusion of our annual budgets. I am personally involved in these various steps.
It starts with defining the corporate priorities of the organization. There's a discussion among managers several months before the beginning of a fiscal year. There are the strategic priorities that you know about, the four that I've mentioned. Every year there is a series of more administrative operational types of corporate priorities that are set for the organization. We discuss that as a group. I'm involved personally and I approve the corporate commitments or priorities. Then, once that is done, that leads the various branches to align their priorities, activities, and budget.
There is a discussion around this time of year to make sure that the budget asked for by each branch is aligned to our priorities. That, too, is discussed as a group, but I decide at the end of the day, based on fairly rigorous discussions, how much each branch will be allocated.
As well, there is a central reserve that we allocate, based on the priorities of the day.
