The budget itself was not reduced; it's the way it was reported in the estimates. The first priority is to promote equitable public policy. Every department has been looking at new processes and ways of reporting their activities under a program activity architecture, as prescribed by the Treasury Board. When we did the budget the year previously, what we found in digging a little deeper is that some of the money that had been put in priority number one—to promote equitable public policy—really fell under building knowledge and organizational capacity, when you looked at the activities and the work that was being done. For example, a lot of the work that's being done on gender-based analysis, a lot of research work, and a number of our other activities fell more comfortably under priority number two.
So there was no reduction in budget; it's just that when we looked at our work, a lot of it fell under building knowledge and organizational capacity. Also, the $18 million there does include the grants and contribution program, like the women's program. So it may look like a loss for the first priority, but in reality, it isn't. One activity builds on the other; in order to be able to promote equitable public policy, you have to do knowledge building and capacity building, and fund organizations in order to bring information to the fore. So one priority builds on the other. The fact that moneys may seem lower in the first is not really indicative of a loss for that priority.
