Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister indicated that if there would not have been a reduction, they would have had an increase, a slight increase. I would assume that rationale would hold true for all programs in government and all departments. If we would not have had to do budget reductions, we all would have been much better off. My question to the Minister is, just so that it is very clear, this is like a block funding situation where there is a certain amount of money given to the divisional board and it is up to them to move the money around within that budget to address the various needs? Is that, in its simplest form, what the Minister is saying?
