The government has a plan to balance, and part of that plan is to control spending. There is some control of spending for sure. I will not comment on the word “slashing”. If we go into detail and we look at transfers to persons and transfers to other levels of governance, that spending has been growing year after year. The part that is more stable or slightly declining is direct program spending. Overall, you are right, that spending has been stable. In fact, in terms of...it has been increasing. It's a fact of life that public spending is not falling.
