Chair, I think I understand what Mr. Martin is asking me, and I can only say two or three things. First, I'm very grateful that I'm not accountable for explaining the entire fiscal framework of the federal government. I can only speak to the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development.
Second, our resources are overwhelmingly for the cost of the statutory programs, over which I and my colleagues exercise no discretion whatsoever, and indeed, over which the cabinet exercises no discretion that doesn't have to come to Parliament and be voted on in terms of the benefit levels.
