It is important to note that the Privy Council Office supports several temporary initiatives. For example, we were talking about commissions of inquiry; we have conducted several on a regular basis over the past few years. I would say that this represents an average of approximately $12 to $15 million per year over the past few years. We also have several term programs, as they are called. One example would be the Task Force on Afghanistan. That is an initiative that ends on the 31st of March this year and that represents approximately $4 million to $5 million per year. There were also the Olympic Games and the G8 Summit. The Olympic Games coordinator was part of the Privy Council Office. There is also Ward Alcock's Task Force on Human Smuggling.
Many of these initiatives last for a specific period of time. That is why our core expenditures do not fluctuate much. On the other hand, because of these additional initiatives and commissions of inquiry, our budget expenditures tend to increase. Once those initiatives are over, the expenditures go back to their basic level.
