One of the things we will do, Mr. Gaudet, is provide you with the information, because there are actually some tables that I wanted to bring in today for you, and we want to make sure we have all of them in French and in English.
We all want members of Parliament to have the information in their hands. That's why we went to great lengths today to explain some of those discrepancies in some of the numbers that you see in the budget document, because when you know why it's laid out in a particular way, it makes my life easier. That's what we're doing. So when Mr. McColeman is asking that question in terms of operating costs, that's the kind of breakdown we all should have, because there's no way any member would know that unless I were here explaining it.
We have to do a better job of getting that information into the hands of members of the committee and members of Parliament, because conceivably it could be embarrassing to a member of Parliament. I could put myself in that place, because in Parliament, when you're in opposition you're always attempting to get up and score your points on the government. This is just how it plays out. I'm not just saying this; we've done the whole thing. So conceivably you could have a member of Parliament getting up asking about these operating expenditures. The question wouldn't be asked if they understood the whole story, so it's important that we get the whole story out to you. It's going to be our recommendation that we find a better way to articulate this so that you do have that information.
Today, even in my opening remarks, I went through some of this. I guess openness and transparency are words that we overuse in this place, but the more information we have for our members of Parliament, the better job we can all do, because at the end of the day we're all in this thing together, to do the best job we can for our men and women in uniform.
