I think I'll answer the question by going back again to my experience in New Brunswick, which is a small province when compared to the complexity of the federal government. In New Brunswick, when we tabled a budget that included an amount of total expenses we also tabled main estimates that completely reconciled to the expenses in the budget. There was a direct link on a full accrual basis between the estimates and the budget speech of the minister, and they were all tabled on the same day.
