Your colleagues have provided us with some training, a sort of refresher of our knowledge of the budgetary cycle. Among other things, they told us there were certain costs we could not control, for example employment insurance costs. Indeed, demand may be higher than previously estimated, for example in the case of the guaranteed income supplement for seniors, a major natural disaster or involvement in an armed conflict. Such expenditures cannot be forecasted as accurately as the number of people assigned to payroll, for example. Those expenditures are more difficult to control.
With respect to integrating your system, how do you go about forecasting such expenditures? How do you ensure that we have the best forecasting with a three-year budget? I would like to emphasize that it is quite normal to have a three-year budget and to see which expenditures are actually being allocated.
