I might need more details to get a better sense of your question. However, in my view, we always have to think about the relative order of importance when we are talking about the scope of departmental activities or operations, for example. I feel that it is more important to approach this from a logical perspective in order to determine whether it makes sense. For example, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has some funding for the Coast Guard, some for buildings and some for scientific activities. In my view, that makes no sense and I don't understand why they are using a system like that.
