First of all, we have to consider the initial situation, the framework in which we work. In many instances, we do not need to obtain government approval for expenditures or the plan. In my opinion, the Chair of the NCC Mandate Review Panel, Mr. Paquet, expressed this aspect the best. He made his comments during an interview, after the legislation had been tabled. He more or less said that it was as if the government had given the NCC flexibility, but within a framework that was quite strict. This is interesting. Indeed, we have the impression that there are more controls, but that we have a little bit more elbow room within this framework. That is more or less what we feel.
