Thank you very much for the question.
I've worked for three central agencies here in Ottawa, as well as for the Prince Edward Island counterpart to the Department of Finance. I'm very familiar with the budget and estimates processes. I understand the difference between what's in the budget and what's allowed in the estimates.
I'll go back to your question about how to track the promises in the budget documents from budget day through to the end of fiscal, as well as in subsequent fiscal years. I would consider asking departments about the critical path or their implementation plan for major projects or ongoing programs, both before and at the beginning of the estimates process, to give everyone an update on how things are progressing and whether deadlines and expectations are being met.
