The programs and initiatives that are in the budget versus others that make it into the main estimates require a different level of detail and a different level of preparation. For anything that is in the main estimates, or any of the estimates, we make sure that the program design is there. We make sure that Treasury Board has gone through all of the program details and departments are ready to implement those programs the moment Parliament gives them the money.
Right now the next budget is sometime in the spring. Depending on when it's going to be, we basically have four to five months. Departments are working on their budget proposals, but they're working at what they have been doing all these years, at higher levels for Finance's consideration.
The first budget will be trying to catch up to what is happening. Hopefully, we'll get a quite a lot of them in the main estimates. The year after will be our first and only year to get the whole system aligned and work the kinks out of it so that the year after we will go into an April deadline for the main estimates. You basically have one full year and the remaining months of this year for transition.
