Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to follow up on that, in terms of the estimates process, as those estimates come to committee. It's my understanding, at least, that all of the estimates from each department need to come to the appropriate committee. Can you just tell us a bit about what is the role of the individual MPs at that committee? Can they reduce the estimates based on what the committee decides? Can they increase them? What are the options that are open to committee members in terms of having control over the estimates process?
Earlier today, one of our colleagues was implying that some of these figures have not been public, and in fact they are in the estimates. I think it's incumbent upon MPs to do their homework and if they have questions to look at the estimates. But just help me through that process.
