Yes, sir. I'm quite confident that the funding provided is sufficient for the appropriate care of veterans. My confidence stems from the fact that our programs are what are called quasi-statutory, meaning that, if and when it's determined that we need more funding to deal with the needs of veterans, then we can go back to the government for supplementary estimates whereby we can table renewed forecasts and associated financial requirements. So for our department, there is always an avenue to come back to the table, so to speak, to get any additional funding that may be required.
That said, we make every effort at the juncture of main estimates to get our forecasts as precise as we can to avoid the need for supplementary estimates. But that precision depends on things such as release rates, mortality rates, and take-up rates within programs, and to a certain degree, you're trying to predict human behaviour. As I said, while we try to get our forecasts very tight, we do have that safety valve that supplementary estimates offer and quasi-stat funding allows.
