It absolutely will. When the Department of Finance is preparing its budget they know how much Treasury Board will likely approve in the upcoming fiscal year. They know how much Treasury Board has already approved, and they always make adjustments for approvals, but they also know that departments do not spend 100% of what they are allowed to spend. So they factor in an adjustment because they're aware the departments will spend 100% less something. The Department of Finance has quite likely noticed the trend as well of decreasing spending against authorities. We work very closely with them in terms of their spending forecast.
So for the Minister of Finance to project a surplus it would be based on spending patterns that they've seen in the past, as well as planned spending going forward from budgets that we've seen recently.
