My question was what was added to the budget base, and that is one year to the next. I was asking a very specific question. The answer was $700 million, therefore the $5 billion that the minister refers to is not accurate no matter what way we look at it. To quote the Conference of Defence Associations for example, it said that between fiscal year 2001 and 2006-07, that is 2000-01 to 2006-07, the budget base would rise only by $700 million, and I concur with that figure. I believe that is accurate.
Is the minister refuting the figures of the Conference of Defence Associations?
