I'll start and maybe turn to my colleagues.
The issue in terms of sharing really only comes up.... Part of the budget development process involves budget secrecy. Department of Finance colleagues try to keep to a minimum the number of officials who are aware of what's coming in the budget, and there's good reason for that. We can maybe explore that a bit further.
On the executive process that leads into Treasury Board approval—because it is in support of Treasury Board approval—I think that's a value-added process. As I said, before we bring spending plans to Parliament for approval, we'd want assurance that departments know how they're going to spend the money and what indicators and measurements they will use to evaluate the success of their programs. That leads to our reports on plans and priorities, our evaluations. Fundamental to this process is asking whether the programs are achieving their objectives. Without that step, you risk losing something.
I'm not sure if my colleague wants to add anything else on budget development.
