Thanks. That's an interesting question.
The quasi-stats present a challenge and we can probably do a better job of describing programs. Because from a parliamentarian's perspective, there's statutory, which means no vote necessary, and there's voted. A quasi-stat is a voted where there's little discretion involved. If someone qualifies for a benefit, he gets it, but the department still has to go through the step of going to Department of Finance and Treasury Board authorities and getting their estimates topped up.
So we can likely do a better job, in the descriptions of the programs, of highlighting what is considered a quasi-stat and what is not.
