I think where there are reductions, Mr. Chair, you will not see the amounts coming back as being requested for spending again. They don't come back. When there are reductions, they're taken from the estimates and you will not see them again.
You did mention financial reporting, and the Public Accounts of Canada are a key document in terms of accountability. You will notice that the Auditor General does sign off on the financial statements, and that's the actual results achieved in terms of spending and revenues, assets and liabilities.
For the year ending 2012-13, the government did receive a clean opinion on its financial statements. Those documents have been audited by the Auditor General.
