I won't comment on where we have been, except to say that if you look back over the past decade, we came in with the expenditure management system back in the early 1990s, after a period of time when the existing A-base had been reviewed on an ongoing basis each and every year. Then we had this exercise called program review, which was a thorough assessment of the A-base of the departments. There was a view, at that time, that we had it more or less right and that therefore the focus should be on new spending—to contain new spending—because of course that period of time was a deficit period. So the focus largely was on new spending, and I would argue that this is the system we still have in place today.
As a result of that, there is a need, when we look at new spending, to align that new spending with existing spending. So every time the government or the departments come forward with a new idea, the new idea and the incremental spending should be articulated. That is, the rationale should be based on what we are spending in that area now and whether there is a need for incremental spending.
