The longer it takes to get the money out the door and carry out government activities such as equipment purchases, the longer it delays our reporting. For example, if the government is slow to put programs in place or purchase equipment, we will not be able to provide you with a report on equipment that has not yet been purchased or programs that are not yet in place.
As these measures are not officially announced and the details are not provided publicly, this remains a matter of cabinet confidence or deliberation and we do not have access to them. As a result, it lengthens the time before we can write our reports.
