It's curious, because it seems to mask the idea of the total costs of something. When a budget is released, all of a sudden we have a number in a budget, and the next thing you know, along troops another whole bunch of numbers that tends to add to the cumulative total. It's very difficult for us, much less other Canadians, to get our heads around what exactly this all costs. It goes back into the mists of time, I'm sure.
