Mr. McCauley, let's use last year as an example, when the budget came out on March 23. Under current rules, we had to table the main estimates on March 1. We were presenting the certainty of the estimates in advance of the budget, and then we followed up with supplementary estimates (A), which we tabled on May 10. That shows that we can work very closely with Finance to bring budget items to Parliament very quickly. We had almost 70% of the budget in those supplementary estimates (A).
In this proposal, by tabling on April 30 or May 1, we're bringing the main estimates, which will have the advantage of those budget items, and it's simplifying the process by removing those supplementary estimates (A) in the spring, so that you're focusing on one document and not two.
