First of all, getting the sequence right is important.
If you look at the last period.... I have budget dates from 2006 to 2016: in 2007, March 19; in 2008, February 26; in 2009, January 27; in 2010, March.... There was an unusual one in 2015, April 21, but if you look at the custom, there is a range that is the practice. The range is quite standardized.
I get your point, totally. I believe that getting this sequence right.... May 1 will provide a better opportunity, over the next two budget cycles, to help ensure, first, that the estimates follow the budget, second, that the estimates are meaningful because they include the majority of budget items—and I ultimately want to see all of the budget items in there—and third, I think, Kelly, that after this provisional period we will see an operationalizing of this as part of the budget process, not just in Treasury Board and Finance but across the government, which will make it more obvious what potential other changes could occur in the future.
Again, I've been transparent in terms of my admiration for the Australian model. It takes time to get there, and we need some time to actually work this through the system.
