Thank you very much. That did answer my question, very much so. I was trying to get at the value-added component, and you clearly explained the value associated with having departmental financial statements prepared for audit purposes. You clearly explained that it gives more reliable information and therefore allows you to do your job better, and that it is better for the Canadian taxpayer as well.
Mr. Ralston, with respect to the costs associated with implementing this change and having departmental financial statements fully up to speed, the last time we spoke you indicated a cost of around $300 million. Can you elaborate on that, or can you explain the costs associated with the current changes that you've implemented and that you discussed in your opening remarks about not having full departmental financial statements prepared? By that I mean some of the cost control measures and some of the internal changes that you've brought forward; what are some of the costs associated with that?
Second, based on that particular policy that you've introduced versus having a fully prepared financial statement, what is the difference, so that the average person can understand, between what you propose and what the 2004 policy initiative was?
