In terms of that third pillar, because that piece is missing, as an overall it's hard to link the appropriations to the budget and to the financial statements. The budgets and the financial statements are prepared on the same basis, the accrual basis, so you can compare those two. But it's very difficult to make the link between the estimates, if they're on a cash basis, to the budget and to the financial statements. If it's difficult to make that link, then it's difficult to understand whether some of the programs are being carried out and how they're being carried out.
We have this issue of the timing and the potential lag. My understanding, for example, is you can have a lag of sometimes up to a year before a budget initiative is reflected in the estimates. That makes it very difficult to be able to manage when the three things don't match. The importance of the consistency to be able to be transparent in all parts of that accountability cycle, it makes it easier to understand and manage those things.
