Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Our next resolution has to deal with the presentation of a realistic budget. The committee was concerned, when they were told that the department was not allowed to budget for increments. By the way, Mr. Chairman, this was not the only department in which we had this concern.
As a result, the department's budget for 1992-93 shows virtually no increase from the 1991-92 revised forecast. We know that in many cases the department's main estimates are not realistic, and supplementary funding must be provided. It seems to us, Mr. Chairman, a rather fruitless way to prepare a main estimate, and we know that we are not seeing figures that represent a real budget.
