Great.
I think the desire of this committee is just to have the assurance, for our own sake and for that of Canadians and taxpayers, that the money is going out, and that it is simply and absolutely going only to programs that received allocations in the budget. You've assured us of that. I think what we're trying to do is just provide another level of transparency to ensure and to exhibit to Canadians that in fact it is so, that in fact it is happening, and that it is happening in an efficient and effective manner.
I suspect that it won't be possible to analyze the outcomes of the actual program spending for some months to come in terms of how effective those initiatives actually were on the ground. Right now we're hopeful of ensuring that the money coming from vote 35 is funding initiatives that were in the budget. Then we may seek to get some information as to how the different departments are allocating those funds.
That's helpful. I appreciate that clarification.
