Thank you all for joining us today, and thanks, Madam Chair, for having me speak first.
Rather than getting into the details of supplementary estimates (A), first, it being an election year, 33 new items had to be addressed in supplementary estimates (A) that weren't done in the main estimates. If we move to some type of an integrated approach to the estimates and the budget that had the timing harmonized, what type of a time frame would we be looking at for the issuance of a budget in an election year? What type of measures would we need to have in place, in your opinion, in order to bridge the gap between that period just after April 1 where spending would be somewhat up in the air, and then to get the necessary costing in place that would be necessary for full supplementaries?
Perhaps Mr. Pagan wants to answer that.
