There will always be what are called the non-budgetary transactions, which are essentially the cash types of transactions, so again, the acquisition of a capital asset, the capital budget. The acquisition of a capital asset is not an expense when it's purchased, but it is an expenditure incurred to build something or acquire something. It's important that those votes for capital continue to exist even though they're not going to be part of the expenses of the government.
Similarly, significant investments...the $400 million in the venture capital action plan that I mentioned in my opening statement was an investment, not an expense that is carried on the government's balance sheet that will have to be assessed every year to determine whether it still has its value. I think it's also important that the committee have those types of things, loans and advances. All of those types of cash transactions still need to be accounted for, and in the estimates.
What doesn't really need to be in the estimates are all of the regular trade accounts payable and receivable at the end of the year. That would be set up on an accrual basis, and trying to deal with those types of things.
The committee would have to determine whether there are any of those types of cash things that they would want to know at the same time as also voting the expense authority on an accrual basis.
