Beginning with this fiscal year, there were two votes established to allow for payments that normally flow on the basis of a central decision out to the departments and are eventually included in supplementary estimates. For reasons of clarity, these two votes were set up. Again, one deals with requirements through collective agreements, where when the new funds are allocated, parliamentarians will be able to say, “All right, how much did we put in a provision for, and how much is the actual result, the requirements in each of those departments?” They're there for clarity purposes to allow you to say, government-wide, the implications of those particular votes are distributed in this manner to all departments and agencies.
