There is actually no difference in the way we would treat an item charged to the central vote from supplementary estimates (A) items, for example. All these items would be required to pass all the due diligence tests at Treasury Board. They would require approval by Treasury Board ministers. They need to be in conformity with the Financial Administration Act, Treasury Board policies, and internal audit and evaluation. They will be audited. They will be reported. So all aspects of due diligence are followed.
