The leak issue is a big concern in budgets, and as you know, we've had situations, not with our government, but in the predecessor government, the Liberal government, where we had some leak issues. There was one occasion when a budget had to be released quickly, as I recall, because of a leak.
My exempt staff is fairly large--some in Toronto, some here, some in Whitby, some on Parliament Hill, some at the Department of Finance--and I'm quite clear with them that they must be absolutely confidential in their work. That's not easy for people who aren't used to having to be absolutely mum about what they're doing--even on the subject matter. It's not so much about arguing one side of whether some tax credit or some tax reduction would be a good idea; you can't even talk about the fact that the idea is being discussed. And that's not easy for people when they're with their families or their friends or whatever. But it's absolutely imperative, and it's another reason why I want to make sure the people who work on the budget, in particular, are very sensitive and have a track record of trustworthiness.
