Again, as interim Parliamentary Budget Officer, I don't think I have an opinion with respect to, within the government, among the federal departments who is tracking it, only that there is somebody who is tracking it centrally, that there are clear definitions, and the information is obviously being fed to the relevant minister and the Department of Finance on a relatively frequent basis. This applies both in terms of planning on the budgeting side, so how much of the budget is going to be split into operating and capital, and also how much money is actually going out the door in a timely way. As part of the work we have done on infrastructure in the past, that was another one of the interesting findings. Notwithstanding the budgetary announcements for many new programs, there ended up being challenges in actually spending the money as originally anticipated. Of course, in some situations, the money is transferred to other governments. It's hard for the federal government to actually tease out precisely how it was spent.
