When any measure is announced or contemplated, we will be asked to provide an estimate of what it will cost to implement. What we will do is this. I will get in touch with all my colleagues who run the operations, be it the audit, the processing, or the collections areas. We will ask them, in respect of a particular measure that's being proposed, whether they would envisage a cost to implement it, and we will ask them to declare that cost.
We will assemble that information and then it will go to Treasury Board in what we call our omnibus submission. It's just the jargon we use to describe the budget submission each year. Treasury Board will then scrutinize our numbers and they will decide whether we're making reasonable estimates or not. Once they are satisfied that we've done a competent job of estimating the costs, they would recommend approval of that to the Treasury Board, and ultimately it will then appear in the supplementary estimates.
