Perhaps I'll answer the second question first and come back, just because it's French. In terms of methods to make.... Martha suggested, and I would agree, that there is experience out there. Understanding the experience and the best practices that have already happened I think would be valuable in terms of doing that research. My understanding is that there are certainly also some well laid out practices in terms of some of those budgeting cycles and accountability cycles. I think that looking at those and comparing those to current practices would be important.
It is my understanding that there are some differences in your current cycle. A shift in some of the timing of that I think could be advantageous. In terms of the exact timing, I'm not sure, but given the fact that the appropriations are in effect before the budget, I think if that were switched around, it would be helpful. As to the exact timing of when the budget should be presented, I'm not sure, but if you look at some best practices, that cycle of the process would be a bit different and might be improved. Again, I think there are some best practices out there that you could look at that would help in terms of implementing that.
Your first question I think was why the first two pillars got done and the last pillar never got done. Because I don't work for the government and I don't know what the policy decisions were, I don't have the background in terms of why that decision was made, or whether it was ever intended to be made and stopped. I'm not sure.
