But your transfer payments are 92.7% of your total budget, so your aid, which is admirable, is very cost effective. I love to see most of the money going to aid and as little as possible going to administration. But our figures here are the actual spending as audited by the public accounts committee in 2008-09. Transfer payments were $3.169 billion. Projected spending for 2010-11 will be $2.924 billion. That's a significant drop of a couple of hundred million dollars, is it not? Or am I not reading this correctly?
