I would struggle to answer your question. We have not analyzed the impact of a minority government on the estimates. Most programs continue to exist because they are statutory programs. We talked about the Old Age Security Program, which costs $28 million—such programs will continue, regardless of a change in the governing party.
That being said, part of this surplus recorded in the last fiscal year can be attributed to the elections. During an election period a warrants system is used; it is not possible to obtain funding for new programs, there are restrictions to what can be done. In contrast, over a period of six months, a government can implement new programs or authorize additional expenditures.
