Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's my pleasure to be back here for an hour. They had sent me over to the government operations and estimates committee so that I could deal with the estimates all day long, which has been fascinating. We've had, I think, six different departments in front of us, and it's been fun.
First of all, let me say that I did a chart on every department that we've had appear over the last five years. It tracks the delta between what they asked for in the mains and what they asked for in the supplementary estimates—what that percentage is—and then what they actually spent based on the public accounts. The finance department comes out pretty well, to be honest with you, in terms of how much is in the supplementaries—which I don't like, though I know they are a requirement—and how much it asked for in the mains.
I do appreciate that, and I understand you are only here to cover some of what's printed in the pages. I do have one question for you, following up on Mr. Julian's question. In the mains that we've passed, there is transitional money for assistance to the harmonized value-added tax framework. It's an agreement. It was down this year. Would that have included the money we sent to British Columbia for the amalgamation of their sales tax? Would it already be included in that amount in the mains? Which line would it show up on when the province pays us back the money we have given them for the transition—money that I think they owe us because they decided not to proceed?
