Right.
It seems that it goes beyond just being cautious so they don't exceed and break the law by overspending. In some areas like Transport Canada, 37% of available funds were left on the table unspent, $785 million.
We all see what's happening with the Montreal Champlain bridge.The Federal Bridge Corporation Limited left 30.8% of available funds. I'm getting this from public accounts.
I found the training that you guys brought to our committee was very helpful. We try to follow the buck through the whole continuum of spending. But it's useful to look back a little bit and see what's left on the table.
It seems to me—and Gerry would know, being at the cabinet table—that there seems to be pressure being put on ministers to shave and shave and shave, and not spend their budget, knowing full well that only 5% can be rolled over. Is that correct?
Let's use Transport Canada as an example. How much of the $785 million can be rolled over without having to be voted on again?
