Okay, no worries. We can go on to another question.
In this department, one of the myths around providing equipment that was propagated by the Canada First defence strategy laundry list of equipment—versus the reality of all the delays and cancelled equipment projects—ties into the vote 5 budget being announced and then allowed to lapse. I call that a deliberate clawback, because it's 23% that has been lapsed, whereas prior to the Conservative government, the average was 2%.
In your previous work in other ministries, have you had to deal with managing a budget of which up to a quarter of what is announced and promised is actually not allowed to be spent or is not spent? How does one manage a program when there's that kind of uncertainty and instability in funding and budgets?
