Mr. Martin, perhaps I can try to explain the process.
The starting point for vote 35 consideration was that it clearly had to be part of Canada's economic action plan. It was clearly articulated in the budget. The budget met with the approval of the House, so therefore anything that was in the budget was a potential call on vote 35.
The next step was for departments to proceed with the policy approval at cabinet, where that was required, and then to develop the detailed terms and conditions that would satisfy Treasury Board ministers that a program, in whatever form it took, would be implemented in consideration of due diligence, transparency, and value for Canadians. We really are working with departments to move that along. To a certain extent, we are dependent on departments to finalize the terms and conditions and be able to bring them forward before they can be approved. So everything is eligible, and to a certain extent, it is as they come forward. There has been no designation that this or that is the priority for vote 35. It's as they become available. That's the first point.
The second point--and this is very important--is to understand that when a budget initiative comes to us for approval, that does not automatically precipitate an allocation from vote 35, because we are looking at their cash forecasted requirements. If the initiative does not have a cash need before supply, then it simply comes into supplementary estimates, and there are approximately $1.6 billion of budget initiatives that are in these supplementary estimates for which there is no tie or relationship to vote 35. Where a department can indicate that they can spend in a stimulative way in advance of supply, then we would look at vote 35.
