Well, sure, they do: they come to Parliament half a year before they come for the estimates, and then we go through the estimates and we authorize the spending and then we go through the whole fiscal year. So there's lot of notice here. But you're saying you haven't noticed a particular pattern.
The lapse rate, on a percentage basis, appears to be about 3%, and you could say, when you're spending $230 billion, “Who's going to miss $6 billion?” But I'm concerned that programming that Parliament approves—funding for programming that we have approved and that we expect should be out there—is lapsing; it's not getting done.
Is it ineptitude? Is it unforeseen events? We're getting shortchanged in programming for sure, and I'm in opposition, so I'll certainly be looking for some kind of cynical “bait and switch” whereby the minister can announce the great program—“We have thirty million bucks for this great program”—but actually isn't going to spend it. It's going to lapse and it gets shifted somewhere else or it pays down the debt.
So you haven't seen.... Has someone from Finance?
You're not going to admit to any kind of pattern here.
