Yes, you are exactly right. I care a great deal about
budgets and I think it's very important to review budgets from time to time.
I just remind the committee that West Block, the visitors welcome centre, the Senate, 180 Wellington Street, the Library of Parliament and the Sir John A. Macdonald Building were all delivered on time and on budget.
There are revisions to the budgets that occur from time to time, but those are discussed with the parliamentary administration. I want to stress that at no time do we go off on a frolic of our own and decide our budgetary parameters without consultation.
I will hand it over to Rob Wright to continue with this point.
