As a general comment, the budget process, which is the responsibility of Finance, is informed by a number of factors. It is also informed by a broad policy context. It's informed by the government's priorities, as set out in the Speech from the Throne, and platform commitments. So it's not necessarily the case that the budget just arrives and it hasn't gone through any policy work, because as I say, it is part of a broader policy process and you may actually have initiatives that have gone through a policy process that ultimately are reflected.
