Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason I brought it up, Mr. Chairman, was that Renewable Resources had indicated in their budget there may not be any requirement for any funds to go to the Workers' Compensation Board. I am wondering how, in the grand scheme of things, we have two agencies of the same government, one saying that it is going to get $200,000 approximately as a budgetary figure from a department, and the department saying they do not think they will have to give any but if necessary, they will come back with a supp. It does not seem there is a cohesive budgetary process. This is what I was getting at. This question perhaps should be directed to the Minister of Finance in terms of how budgets are prepared. However, I wanted to get a feel from the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board if they felt all reasonable efforts had been made to forecast these revenues. I guess the question still begs of Renewable Resources, why they could not make the effort to forecast the expenditure accurately. No question, just a comment.
