We have a general practice, Mr. Chairman, that when we acquire funds—and if you'll forgive me for using the word “unexpected”, I don't quite mean unexpected—off the general process, it is put into a general fund that is administered centrally by the senior leadership of the forces and of the department. We will take this, along with any other funds that we acquire off-line, and over the course of the months ahead, if it is beneath a certain threshold, or if it's very important, we will ask the minister to make investments in shorter-term activities: exercises, the purchase of spare parts that might be necessary in the very short term. We put it in a pot and we try to prioritize access to that pot for those issues that are the most important for that fiscal year.
