Mr. Chair, I just want to reiterate what Mr. Albas said. I think, as parliamentarians, what we should be doing as much as possible is matching the legislative and appropriation processes as closely together as we can, because it's then easier for us to track the money when things do go wrong, and they sometimes do. It also makes it easier for future parliamentarians who come in here, and I'm speaking as one of the new parliamentarians who was elected in 2015. The estimates, appropriation, and legislative processes do not always match, and that makes it very difficult for members of Parliament to track the money as it's being spent.
What I'm simply trying to do is match it with what's on page 181 of the budget so that the comparison between what was spent and what is being asked for will be easy to make in the next budget. I think it's a very reasonable request that whatever the government proposes to do be reflected in the legislation. I think that's the very minimum. We saw the Speaker make a ruling and split four components out of it based on a new standing order. I think the same principle applies here. The substance has not changed; it's the amounts that have changed. As parliamentarians, I think we owe it to our constituents to be able to track and report the money as best we can, and this would make it simpler.
