It seems to put two things close together that really ought to be more separate. I can argue either way on that.
You've already heard me say I think it's important for parliamentarians to pay more attention than has been necessary in the past to the overall federal government balance sheet. However, the estimates are quite clearly for the purpose of voting on specific spending items.
If it's a matter of reconciling the estimates to the overall budget so that it's clear how each individual spending item fits into the overall fiscal plan, that's one thing, but if it's presenting information that's not directly germane to the task of approving specific spending items, then I wouldn't be supportive of it.
