As I'm listening to the conversation, I'm thinking of it more from the point of view of us being one of the departments in vote 40. We have had to go through the process to access money through vote 40. We will get an allocation, and in fact we have received our allocation now, but for us it's an increase in our budget that we are going to spend on doing audits. In our particular situation, trying to track how much of the money on vote 40 was spent on public accounts and how much was spent somewhere else really wouldn't be very meaningful because it's just coming in as part of our overall work that needs to be done. There may be other cases, though, in which departments are being allocated from vote 40 an amount for a specific project to do something, and in that case you would expect to see more of an accounting that says, “this specific project now is allocated..., and here's how it's spent.”
