The way the system currently works is that the departments, on a day-to-day basis, essentially use cash or a kind of modified cash to manage, because that's the way the appropriations are done, and they take great care to make sure they track appropriations. So all throughout the year the departments work essentially on a cash basis, but because the government has adopted accrual accounting for its summary financial statements and its overall budget, at the end of the year essentially there's this big exercise to move everything to accrual, and we're saying it makes no sense.
If the government all those years ago decided to move to accrual accounting--and in fact, the Government of Canada was a world leader in this. And for a lot of really good reasons, it shouldn't be just a year-end exercise that we produce these summary financial statements on an accrual basis; they should be using this information like this all through the year, managing their receivables, managing their fixed assets. The only way that will actually happen, we believe, is if the appropriations move to that basis, because that's what managers track on a day-to-day basis.
So we kind of have two systems: one that managers use all through the year and then this big year-end exercise to move it all to accrual basis.
