The answer, again briefly, would be yes, but at what cost? We've been recently reviewed and evaluated by the Office of the Auditor General with respect to our investment decision-making. That audit report came out extremely positive, complimenting the agency on the rigour in the information system it uses to determine its investments. That process allows us to fund a considerable number of the investment pressures we have on the tax side, such as the T1, the T3, the T2. The problem we have now is that one of the objectives of this program from the Treasury Board Secretariat was effectively to accelerate the process.
Would we have done this without the money? Yes, eventually, but not now. It wasn't high enough on our priority list, given the other needs we have, to allow this to happen. Part of what the Treasury Board had interest in were broader government-wide objectives. It is an interest we share, but in fact some of those benefits apply more widely across government than to ourselves.
As you correctly point out, it's $6 million in a $4.6 billion budget. As a finance officer it would be foolish of me to say we couldn't find it, but we would have had to displace something else. That part is for certain.
