I'll have to answer some of these other questions that are on the record, sir. I would be glad to speak to the issue of the lapse. Perhaps I could ask Mr. Lindsey to speak to that very briefly because there's a bit of a misnomer about lapsed funding. Part of it is accounted for on money that could not be spent because of contractual breaches, if you will, by a certain supplier for Maritime helicopters. That is money that was allotted for this fiscal year, which could not be spent because helicopters were not delivered. Part of that money has also accounted for the fact that when you have a large capital-intensive budget and these timelines are not met—I would argue through no fault of the Department of National Defence—the money doesn't disappear, it doesn't evaporate. It goes back to the fiscal framework.
Unlike any other department in government, we have a very small percentage of carry-over. So as one accountant within the department described it to me, it's like landing a 747 on an aircraft carrier. You have a large budget that you're trying to land within a particular year, and if certain contracts are not met, that money is not spent, but it goes back to the Department of Finance. We do have some carry-over and that envelope has actually been increased.
But Mr. Lindsey can explain the lapse process.
