If I may, that's what I was getting at, that it's not very much time to deal with the plans and priorities and the main estimates. You're lucky to get one hour with the minister. Perhaps a two-hour meeting with the bureaucrats first regarding plans and priorities.... Really, it's the minister who should be talking about plans and priorities.
More and more we've realized that's where the meat and potatoes lie. The estimates are a pile of data, a lot of numbers. Plans and priorities explain in relatively plain language what we hope to achieve by spending this $6 billion this year: here is the plan, here is the reason we're spending it this way, and here is the hopeful outcome of that spending.
In the thorough examination we did in the last session that's the conclusion we came to, that if we want to really assess and understand what the proposal is all about, it comes in the RPPs.
I don't think one hour on March 4 is enough.
