It would certainly be preferable if the introduction of the main estimates bills—and the RPPs, for that matter—included what had just been passed in the budget. It essentially all happens at exactly the same time, but nothing is connected to anything until halfway through the next year. It would be preferable if there were just a quarterly difference between when the budget is passed and when the actual implications of the budget in terms of the main estimates, the reports on plans and priorities, and the future-oriented financial reports all come out, which is around March. That would certainly make those bills much more relevant to the budget itself.
