I think it was a useful exercise, and I'm glad we invited the Department of Public Works, even though they weren't a dollar figure in the estimates, because we had a chance to look at the DPRs. There's more to the examination of the estimates than just the supplementary estimates (B) themselves. We were living up to one of the recommendations of our own report on the estimates when we invited these witnesses and gave a thorough going-over of the departmental performance review documents, which are very valuable.
