Right, thank you.

You've indicated that the whole budget process within government, the preparation of estimates, is rather labour- and resource-intensive. You have a group of 25 employees or more, and then you reach out to the various organizations—I think 135.

Is there any mechanism within government liaising between the Treasury Board Secretariat and the various organizations to get suggestions from federal government employees on how to improve this process? What is it, and what have you heard?
