As I was mentioning, they are accountable. They are signing off on these costs. If they say there is no cost involved, it is very difficult for them to come to Treasury Board, for example, and ask for funding. Because they said there was no cost involved, they would have to absorb the cost. It is not in their interests to underestimate these costs, so they should identify any costs that they can up front.
