Now, if I could refer back to Mr. Blaikie's earlier point about referring to a main estimates amount, in some ways, because we have this practice of carrying previous approvals in an ongoing A-base, they have, at any given time, an idea of what next year's main estimates would be if nothing else were to happen. Sort of buried in our technical instructions for how to arrive at interim estimates is that departments are asked to figure out two things. One is the cash requirement for the first three months of the year. The other—and it's written into almost every vote wording that you will see in the proposed schedules of the appropriation bill—is that there is a reference to the total commitments that can be entered into for the following year.
For example, for the Privy Council Office, their interim estimates request is only about $53 million, but there's a specific line in their vote 1 wording that says they can enter into commitments not exceeding $163 million, more or less, for the fiscal year. That is the number they're referring to as their main estimates. It's what they know now to be their main estimates if nothing else happens. That is published in the interim estimates along with the specific request.
