Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both our witnesses for being here.
Minister, I want to thank you especially for relating your presentation to the actual legislation. I do fully expect, as Mr. Lemieux has said, that as part of the BIA, when that rolls out, that section will come to this committee for discussion. That would just make sense.
I want to follow up a little bit on Mr. Hayes' point. As you said, the process is entirely normal. Every government has followed the same process. In fact, in the last year that the previous government was in position, they lapsed $116 million for Veterans Affairs by exactly the same process. This is absolutely normal. The analogy I've used is that it's like a line of credit. You get a line of credit, and if you don't spend it all that year because it didn't get drawn down for whatever reason, then the line of credit gets renewed the next year.
Is that a fair analogy?
