Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Madam Lyon, I have a couple of questions.
I'm assuming that departmental budgets are based somewhat on past experience as well as on current need. Would I be correct in assuming that?
I suppose those questions you just dealt with on budgeting and how much money is needed were fairly open-ended. I'm sure we look at past experience as well as departmental need for things like equipment, personnel, and so forth. Is that how the budgets are established?
