How do you explain the fact that, in 2012-2013, you expected to allocate $108 million for legal aid in the current fiscal year?
That's always a concern for me. What I am interested in is comparing the items from last year's main estimates with those from this year's main estimates. We sometimes see major changes from one budget to the next. Is that because the Department of Justice manages the budget poorly?
Or is it simply because reality is catching up with you and you have no choice but to make adjustments along the way? If that's the case, I'm wondering what the point of having main estimates is, when we know perfectly well that the budget objectives regarding certain items will not be reached. That doesn't make sense.
I am looking at some of the items, and I am really wondering how you manage to operate within those budgets.
