I think it's a judgment call when you talk about how a government's got its hand on the levers and it is making these sorts of decisions. Speaking about it politically, what's important is that if the government has the authority to reprofile, it also has an obligation to address that change in the supplementary estimates. They have to go back and seek the proper authorities in exchange for the flexibility to allow them to do that.
The Treasury Board vote, the contingency fund, Treasury Board vote 5, is an example. In this case the government had to deal with things in a timely way and didn't necessarily have the capacity to go to Parliament. However, surely major changes in spending that are obviously allowed—because they were—have to be reconciled with a certain degree of respect for Parliament.
