We're using numbers here. We can debate whether we should have regular numbers plugged in:
That the committee report to the House recommending that the government consider the advisability of raising the current budget of $86.6 million contained in the 2006-07 budget by $15 million for the fiscal year of 2007-08.
We're saying it's for next year, because this budget's already there; it's for the fiscal year of 2007-08.
Ça va?
