Sure, I'll take an initial crack at that.
The news release on September 25 did identify a group of some 10 or 12 programs that have been reduced or eliminated for reasons of value for money. That total is $265.6 million. The definition given of value for money focused on programs that in the judgment of the government were not achieving their results or that could be refocused or targeted for improved effectiveness.
In terms of identifying such programs, to the maximum extent possible, we at the Treasury Board Secretariat, along with our colleagues in the other central agencies, relied on the formal program evaluations that departments themselves conduct each year. In particular, this was the grants and contributions program, but it was not limited to that. We actually maintain a database with some 700 program evaluations that have been conducted by departments. We assessed those results, and that was the basis of an initial round of advice to the president and minister.
