Okay, I have to go on to another question.

The estimates indicate a $291 million reduction for the department for 2012-13. I see a $6.5 million cut from Genome Canada, a $61 million cut from the Space Agency, a $3.5 million from the NRC, a $275 million cut from Statistics Canada, $15.6 million cut because the rural broadband program is done.

However, these are still pretty big numbers; most of the numbers in the estimates are in the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Could we have more detailed information about how the reductions will be achieved?
