Mr. René Leblanc (Deputy Commissioner and Chief Financial Officer, Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying) at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I think that explains the process.

Throughout the year we have a continuous review process to ensure progress is made against the priorities not only in terms of financial information but in terms of non-financial information as well: how is this project going, and how is it progressing against what we wanted?

Midyear we do a review of all the projects and all of the financial situations. We reassess if there are any funds that could be reallocated elsewhere or if some projects are lagging a little. It may allow us to use that funding for new and emerging priorities.
