Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think that leaves us in a difficult situation and I would hope that committee of the whole could be advised, before we go any further in the budget, whether or not there is a commitment by the government to ensure that what we are looking at in the supplementary document is actually part and parcel of the budget.

I don't think, Mr. Chairman, until that question is answered, that we should proceed any further with consideration of the budget. Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I move that we report progress.
