It is true, all the information is online. Departments submit their detailed information as to what they are proposing to spend to Treasury Board for review and approval as the first stage of the estimates process. That usually starts in the spring of each year for the next fiscal year. All that is now passed through using computers, so it is there. As I said, even back in 1984, we used to go through detailed printouts. All that information was online. So there's no reason why, subject to some confidentiality requirements that may be considered too sensitive at a particular point, that the PBO or this committee shouldn't be allowed access.
